Hmm. I think that would be counterproductive to Alpha. They were initially my pick to win the entire thing, but they've been pretty cold on SmackDown since debuting. They've been given none of the charm of their NXT run. As a result, I feel that pushing them as this undefeated super-force is just going to backfire. I see them getting more of a "journey" to the belts (WrestleMania next year).
The problem is, I can see the crowd being soooo into Slater & Rhyno at Backlash that whoever they go against is going to get booed. The Usos take less of a hit in that situation, since the Roman Reigns stank got them booed anyway. By putting the belts on Jimmy & Jey, you can also guarantee The Rock will tweet something out about it, and they'll get former champs breathing some cred into the new set of belts.
I imagine that they'll then drop them to Harper & Rowan (if the plan is to put them back together as a tag team, which would definitely be the best thing for Rowan), and then Alpha win them from The Reapers at Mania (probably in a match also involving The Usos and possibly a team like The Revival, Breezango or even Slater & Rhyno).
