8. Creed Brothers

Based on their late October Raw debut alone, the Creed Brothers should be on the fast track to becoming one of the biggest tag teams in WWE.

But even with Vince McMahon out of the creative picture, this still is WWE, so that rocket Julius and Brutus seemingly were strapped to when they defeated Alpha Academy veered into the comedy zone rather than heading straight to the top. The Creeds have won their first televised bouts in impressive fashion, but they’re already participating in backstage “comedy” segments.

Still, that shouldn’t derail this duo. Many great acts in WWE have had to go through their humor paces while establishing themselves. Maybe it’s a new kind of hazing ritual. Regardless, the Creeds have all the potential in the world, evidenced by how quickly they outgrew NXT and all but demanded a call-up without saying a word.

Given the showcase debut, the fact Triple H doesn’t hate tag teams like Vince did, and the sheer talent they possess, the Creed Brothers are extremely well-positioned for success.
