Fightful Select reports that Julius and Brutus Creed have left WWE following the expiration of their contracts, in what appears to be a mutual parting of ways. The brothers were moved to the alumni section of WWE's official roster page, with Julius Creed's profile now listing him as alumni — a change that typically indicates a talent is no longer with the company. WWE has not made an official announcement.
The exit comes shortly after the Creeds made a surprise return to NXT on September 1, attacking Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno. Their run ended on October 20 when they lost to Hank Walker and Tank Ledger in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic quarterfinals after Brutus accidentally distracted the referee. Their main roster momentum had stalled earlier in 2024; they wrestled on Raw under masks as Los Americanos Hermanos alongside Chad Gable and were primarily featured on WWE Main Event after a loss on May 18.
The Creeds were standout performers in NXT, winning the 2022 Men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and the NXT Tag Team Championship before being called up to Raw in 2023. They joined Chad Gable's American Made stable in 2024. Now free agents, they would be a significant addition to any tag team division.
If the brothers sign with AEW, several high-profile matchups await. Five potential dream matches include:
The Young Bucks – AEW World Tag Team Champions Matt and Nick Jackson defend against Mark Davis and Jake Doyle at Full Gear on November 14. A clash of styles would pit the Bucks' speed and high-risk offense against the Creeds' amateur wrestling base and raw power.
FTR – Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler are engaged in a best-of-five series with the Motor City Machine Guns, trailing 2-1. Once settled, a feud with the former NXT Tag Team Champions would offer a classic old-school tag team rivalry.
The New Level – Kofi and Austin Creed (formerly Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day) debuted at All In: London on August 30, winning the AEW World Trios Championship with Swerve Strickland. A Creed Brothers vs. New Level program would carry a built-in name joke and feature two teams looking to prove their worth beyond WWE.
Gates of Agony – Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona, part of The Demand with Ricochet, are among AEW's most physical teams. A matchup would be a hard-hitting battle of strength, allowing the Creeds to showcase their ability to win a slugfest.
Mark Davis and Jake Doyle – The Don Callis Family members helped win the men's Blood and Guts match on November 4 and challenge the Young Bucks at Full Gear. Facing them would immediately insert the Creeds into a major AEW storyline, with Davis and Doyle's size and faction backing making the brothers natural babyfaces.
