Judgment Day Julius Creed

How many times can the Creed Brothers make their mark on WWE television in a two-month period?

Apparently, the answer is, “Hold my beer.” Julius and Brutus (challenging Finn Balor and Damian Priest) wowed fans with an incredible Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match Monday night, flying around the ring and matching the veterans at every stage. The final 3-5 minutes of the match were jaw-dropping, with all four men (and Rhea Ripley and Ivy Nile at ringside) selling out.

In the end, Priest put Julius down with a South of Heaven where Creed kicked out at 3.5, and Michael Cole summed it up perfectly by noting that the Creed Brothers will be tag champs soon enough. If there was any lingering doubt among fans about whether the former NXT Tag Team Champions belong on the main roster, it was wiped out on Raw.

Here’s hoping WWE can keep the Creeds strong and on television regularly, because they are truly something special.
