The Creed Brothers are an American professional wrestling tag team consisting of brothers Brutus Creed (Drew Kasper; born May 13, 1996) and Julius Creed (Jacob Kasper; born October 3, 1994). The Creed Brothers are currently working for the professional wrestling promotion WWE where they perform on the Raw brand and are members of Diamond Mine.

Early lives and amateur wrestling[edit]

The Kasper brothers were born in Lexington, Ohio.[3] They attended Lexington High School, where they both competed in amateur wrestling.[4]

Jacob Kasper attended Duke UniversityinDurham, North Carolina, where he studied sociology, graduating in 2018.[5] During his time at Duke University, he participated in collegiate wrestling for the Duke Blue Devils. He was a two-time National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) All-American and a three-time NCAA Academic All-American, and won the 2018 Atlantic Coast Conference heavyweight championship. He set a Blue Devils record for the most wins in a single season and ranked second for overall career wins.[6] He participated in the 2016 Olympic trials in the Greco-Roman and freestyle categories,[7] placing fifth.[6] In 2017, he trained with mixed martial artist Daniel Cormier to help Cormier prepare for his bout with Jon JonesatUFC 214.[6] In 2018, he began working for Duke University as an assistant wrestling coach.[8][9]

Drew Kasper attended Otterbein UniversityinWesterville, Ohio, where he majored in exercise science, graduating in 2020. During his time at Otterbein University he competed in collegiate wrestling for the Otterbein Cardinals, with an overall record of 108–13. He was a two-time NCAA Division III All-American. In his final year, Kasper had a perfect 30–0 record and was ranked number one in the United States, but did not compete in the 2020 NCAA championships due to their cancellation as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

Professional wrestling career[edit]

WWE (2020–present)[edit]

NXT (2020–2023)[edit]

In October 2020, Jacob Kasper was signed by WWE after being scouted by Gerald Brisco at the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships and attending a try-out that June.[6] In February 2021, Drew Kasper was signed to a three-year contract by WWE after attending a try-out at his brother's urging.[3] Both men were assigned to the WWE Performance CenterinOrlando, Florida for training.[10] In June 2021, Drew and Jacob Kasper were respectively renamed "Brutus Creed" and "Julius Creed".[11] In August 2021, the Creed Brothers appeared on NXT as members of Roderick Strong's Diamond Mine stable, establishing themselves as villains in the process.[10] They made their in-ring debut at the August 24, 2021, NXT tapings (with their match airing on September 7, 2021), defeating Chuckie Viola and Paxton Averill in a squash.[7][12]

On February 15, 2022, at NXT Vengeance Day, the Creed Brothers defeated MSK to win the Men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.[13] On June 4, 2022 at NXT In Your House they defeated Pretty Deadly to win the NXT Tag Team Championship.[14]AtWorlds Collide on September 4, 2022, the Creed Brothers lost the NXT Tag Team Championship to Pretty Deadly after Damon Kemp, a member of the Diamond Mine stable, turned on the Creed Brothers, costing them the match.[15] In July 2023, the Creed Brothers lost to the Dyad in a "Loser Leaves NXT" match;[16] they were reinstated the following month after defeating the Dyad in a cage match.[17]

The Creed Brothers, along with fellow Diamond Mine member Ivy Nile, made their main roster debut on the October 30, 2023 episode of Raw, defeating Alpha Academy.[18]AtHalloween Havoc the following day, they defeated Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo in a "Tables, Ladders, and Scares match" in their final match for NXT.[19]

Raw (2023–present)[edit]

On the November 6, 2023 episode of Raw, the Creed Brothers (and Ivy Nile) formally joined the Raw brand.[20] On the November 27 episode of Raw, the Creed Brothers won a tag team turmoil match for an Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship opportunity; however, they failed to defeat the Judgment Day for the titles on the December 18 episode of Raw.[21][22]

Professional wrestling style and persona[edit]

The Creed Brothers wrestle in a power-based style incorporating "slams, suplexes and collisions".[23] Their finishing moves include a clothesline/sliding lariat.[24][25][26] Their style has drawn comparisons to both the Road Warriors[12] and the Steiner Brothers.[27] Reflecting their amateur wrestling backgrounds, the Creed Brothers perform wearing wrestling singlets and wrestling shoes.[12] Brutus Creed was described by WWE in 2021 as possessing "unbridled strength and a ruthless nature",[28] while Julius Creed was described by WWE as possessing "uncontrollable aggression and an absolute sadistic nature".[29]
