Honestly, the Creed Brothers could have lost their debut match to Alpha Academy and it still would have been deemed a success.

The brothers answered Chad Gable’s open challenge over the weekend and made their Raw debut Monday night in a fun, fast-paced and action-packed match that showcased all four men’s strengths perfectly. Julius Creed looked like a physical freak. Brutus Creed was an absolute beast. Otis was near-unstoppable. And Gable continued to be the wrestling savant he always has been.

There was too much action to really do it justice here, but one sequence perfectly described this match. Brutus attempted a diving crossbody on Otis, who caught him and dropped him with a World’s Strongest Slam. Julius broke it up with a 450 splash, and Gable landed on the entire pile with a moonsault, all in rapid succession.

The Creeds got the victory with the Brutus Ball, but they already were winner with the fans, and they earned a show of respect from the Alphas. Great debut, great match, and hopefully a sign of great things to come.

Now, do a best-of-seven series between the Creeds and Alphas!
