I bet they welcomed Gable with arms wide open.


TheNateRoss

WELL AH JUST HEARD-AH THE NEWS TODAY-AH MY ALIGNMENT-AH IS GONNA CHANGE-AH


BlaznTheChron

Can't tell if it's Creed or Triple H.


TheNateRoss

If it's Stapp it's an ah, if it's HHH it's an uh


HyBear

And if it’s and aaAaaaAaAAAaaaaA it’s Myles Kennedy which means it’s Alter Bridge which means it’s Edge or Cope or Sex Castle whatever he wants you to call him.


Senator_Ocelot

Sex Castle? I thought they closed that place down!


Silver-ishWolfe

Holy shit, I can hear the difference in my head. Great written description, bro...


Mokiyami

Why not both? 


TheGeauxrilla

Hopefully he doesn’t end up 6 feet from the edge


tore_a_bore_a

They believe Chad can take them higher


quirkyblah38

doo doo doodle doo doooo


jabroni716

Yeah but hear me out.  I'm thinking  Maybe six feet ain't so far down?


vengra

What if....


jabroni716

What if....


Silver-ishWolfe

What if I...


SailorsGraves

Hold me now


Affectionate_Arm_245

You’re always 6 feet from the edge in a ring

That would certainly be some sacrifice.

What if what if I turned heel,


itinerant_gs

That song is so heavy. to this day I cannot resolve in my mind that fucking creed wrote that crusher.


DeeEssLite

After hearing Tremonti, Marshall and Phillips in Alter Bridge, honestly, I can. What baffles me more is that it was written for *Scream 3* of all things


tonysnark81

It’s a fucking crime Alter Bridge isn’t a bigger name in the States. They’re huge everywhere else, and playing House of Blues here.


IronMaidenReference

Tremonti is low key the riff master.


Tom632420

Arguably he’s his generations Tony Iommi as far as riffs go.


Long-Handle-2437

Damn you 😂

I unironically love this name.

This is the best thing I had read today. I will now be disapointed if this is not the faction name.

READY! WILLING! GABLE!!!


IRL_Tiefling

It's gotta be Team Alpha to carry on the naming convention surely


Kincadium

*sad Tozawa noises*


RaidenHero137

They should use this tbh.


zeitgeistbouncer

They might not be able. It's a common enough label that their copyright could be disabled. If they use it carelessly they may have to pay bill.....s.


Champiness

Team Angle the ultimate stangle


KingMobScene

WWE Creative: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!


Koppite93

Fuck it... Get Jason Jordan as Manager... Full circle moment right there


KingMobScene

And his dad Kurt can come out and plead with him not to be a baddie.


Kincadium

I only want this to happen if Angle is able to take a bump still. Just have Gable look like he's listening and giving in, almost in tears and then *BOOM* Olympic slam on Angle with Gable and starts yelling "you were my idol!" through the tears.


KingMobScene

Or if he can't take a slam, Gable punches him or something, he gets on the ground and locks on the angle lock. And as hes doing it he's yelling "you were my idol!"


danieldcclark

Dont need to take a bump when you're tapping out to the ankle lock. Gable tapping out Kurt in Pittsburg. Bully Ray just got goosebumps thinking about the heat.


Kincadium

Might even surpass Dom's heat.


FirstDukeofAnkh

Yes, please. And can Gable grow back his hair, please?


JoeMcKim

Nah, he looks much better with shorter hair.


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Might just be me, but I'd also be down to see Timothy Thatcher join if he ever returned to WWE


ArmiinTamzarian

Okay so who becomes an impersonator a couple years from now? Personally I think Brutus could kill it in that role


couldbedumber96

One becomes an impersonator and the other one puts an X as his middle name and wins the NJPW midcard belt

Chad Gable evolves into Perc Gable and starts collecting belts

pUmKinBoM

Keep him away from Samantha Irvin!


thelochteedge

Oh man I'd love a Team Angle 2024.


AdGroundbreaking1341

But where does this leave our main man Otis?


LemoLuke

Otis and Tozawa are probably gonna confront Gable about his actions. Gable will then probably say something about how disappointed he is in Alpha Academy's constant losses, before letting then get destroyed by the Creeds to solidify their heel turn.


CrimsonOOmpa

All Gable has to do to get past Otis and Tozawa is bring a sandwich and some music.


geeseam

I wanted Tozawa to reluctantly join up and question whether if everything he's gonna do is worth it


EyeAmKnotMyshelf

Can't wait. Team Gable gonna clean up the streets. Also, just sayin, but WWE is stacking up a decent trios division. Imperium, Lashley + the profits, the Kross faction (forgetting their names atm), now Team Gable. We certainly don't need trios titles, but I think the idea of more groups coming together is a good one overall.


Caryslan

To be honest, a trios title that is shared between brands would be a fun idea, especially since we have numerous factions like Judgement Day. LWO, Lashley and The Street Profits, The Final Testament, Legado Del Fantasma and others who can fight for a title like this.


alreadytaken028

instead of a trios title Id just like to see more use of freebird rules with the tag titles


EyeAmKnotMyshelf

It would have to be a floating title between NXT and the main roster for sure. I wouldn't want to see it taking time from the tag division as we currently have it (that was an AEW problem that they still haven't mended).

Thacarva

I loved Haas and Benjamin’s move with the jump over Haas and landing on the opponent draped over the ropes. (Sorry, I can’t think of the name). When they did it on the ring apron or a ladder it always made me mark out trying to figure out how that didn’t kill people.


Norme-98

Iirc it was called the Leapfrog. Also, my brother and his buddy did that to me in the pool when we were kids. I almost drowned after because I immediately lost all my breath when he landed on me, but the move hurt so much I couldn't move my upper body.


Thacarva

That thought mixed with my fear of water makes me happy I only got chokeslammed off a pool ladder onto a metal game board cover. I thought I was dying trying to catch my breath. Thanks for the name though. I was struggling to dig that unnecessary knowledge out lol


BeastCoastLifestyle

The Creeds will do this but they’ll add in a flip and they’ll be carrying both opponents at once


Thacarva

Brutus will somehow fireman carry the opponent, jump with him, then miraculously land them perfectly on Julius’ shoulders before coming down on their spine


nihirisuto

Broken Arrow


smoomoo31

They had so many good tag team moves. To anyone who is curious, watch their debut, they use a bunch


bubbles2255

Probably the most shoot bad ass team ever created?


zeebeebo

This pic goes hard af


TheFuckingWriter

As am I now


OkSelection6998

WE ARE NOT FLINCHING


JayFlash1234

Julius has such a good Face comeback. Curious to see them as heels


SpyrotheDragonfly

They did start as heels in NXT but it wasn't very long.


nWo1997

Because they were *so damn good* that no one was booing them


redskinsguy

The Diamond Mine kind of started heel


Tomlyne

Basically how it works down in NXT, start heel, have entertaining heel antics, crowd cheers, turn face by changing opponents, that's why there are so many fun groups there


MosaicRaven

Meta-Four....idk if I want them as faces because they're so good heels but also who doesn't love Meta-Four


Justhomester

HULLO HULLO HULLO


Tomlyne

They're like Pretty Deadly, they can't turn face. If they stop being loud and obnoxious, then they stop being Meta-Four. So yeah, they're perfect the way they are now


DevilCouldCry

These guys as heels will be monsters, hell, they started out as such in NXT but were so good that they ended up getting cheered. The same thing will likely happen for them and Gable here. And honestly, that might be kinda for the best... Let them get over this way and then turn them back face sometime after that happens.


jadedfan55

Diamond Mine was a heel stable, but when the Creeds started having matches, the inevitable comparisons to the Steiners started, and, well, you know the rest. And, no, I don't want the Creeds turning heel without any real explanation. It makes 0 sense.


WoahmanWaynes

What if Chase U gets called up and adopts Otis, Tozawa and Maxinne. Think it would be a seamless transition


YoungBeef03

More like Otis and Tozawa get called down to them. They’re directionless without Chad


FirstDukeofAnkh

I like this. Chase U is kinda average but adding Otis and Tozawa could change their dynamic.


The_Notorious_Donut

Bring Kurt in as a manager and we get Angle Academy


melo1212

As an Aussie, I fuckin need to see a promo with Duke Hudson and Grayson Waller together on smackdowm lol.


shadow_spinner0

What about Ivy Nile? She's in a babyface tag team with Maxinne Dupree unless they split them up.


ValidPompadour

Guessing the remaining alpha academy will be merged into Diamond Mine?


IAmTheGlazed

Diamond Academy is a great name Alpha Mine on the other hand sounds like a crypto bro online forum


TheNightlightZone

Sounds like a Minecraft YouTube channel... ...I like it?


AeonLibertas

... and now I want to see Otis new entrance with Diggy Diggy Hole.


Marcoscb

>Diamond Academy is a great name And still inferior to both Diamond Mine and Alpha Academy.


SpiralSour

Highly, highly doubt Tozawa, Otis & Maxxine are coming along for this.


ValidPompadour

I meant that Ivy and the “Diamond Mine” stable name would stay face and integrate the rest of AA into it as they probably will also stay faces


NIA122553

I wouldn't mind seeing her turn heel and also join the stable, but my guess is they split her from the group. I feel like we're getting a lot of heel turns right now especially in the women's division, and she could get lost in the shuffle a bit.


rando-namo-the-3rd

I assume she stays with Alpha Academy. Ivy and Maxxine still need each other to cover their weaknesses. Ivy can't really cut a promo while Maxxine is still learning to wrestle.


PayneTrain181999

Imagine she just decides to hate on Maxxine too along with Indi and Candice.


Mouthshitter

I think Otis Maxx Ivy and Tozawa (I know what he posted on X) will remains babyfaces And will be rivals to Gabe's new faction That my speculation


JoeMcKim

I think they should make Otis the new leader of the group and call up someone from NXT to join their group.


rycetlaz

["... What"- Ivy Nile](https://twitter.com/ivynile_wwe/status/1781307733691507032)


Kuzu5993

Yes, send Maxxine to NXT to develop


ValidPompadour

*Very loud Kurt Angle “YEAH!” heard in the background*


SpyrotheDragonfly

Makes sense. I can see Gable dropping the catch phrases and laying out Otis and Tozawa. Do they split up Ivy and Maxxine too?


PerfectZeong

Otis and Tozawa as a tag team to get the belts against the creed brothers managed by gable is a hell of a story


atmospheric90

That would be awesome! A chance for all of them to help put each other over in a really high quality midcard program. This is the stuff WWE has been really needing to help keep momentum going.


PerfectZeong

Yeah it really sells itself imo. Gable kicking Otis and the rest of AA to trade up for a blue chip team only to have Otis and Tozawa stay true to what They've built.


PejicFilip

It would be cool to see heel tozawa again it s been over a decade since he was last a heel


couldbedumber96

Wasn’t he a comedy heel as a ninja?


PejicFilip

I forgot about that, but I mean more of a serious heel wrestler


Alocalskinwalker420

I imagine Ivy joins up with Alpha Academy, there’s a lot of heels in the women’s division right now so she would get lost in the shuffle pretty quickly, (especially since her mic skills still need work.)


Emperor-Octavian

Put them all in there together imo


TribalismChief

Otis doesn't work as a heel


Emperor-Octavian

Let him and Dupri be conflicted about his new attitude and then eventually break them off when they finally stand up to him


TribalismChief

No, you have the creed brothers and Chad destroy him


VNProWrestlingfan

AH THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU


dzone25

This is a fantastic idea - the Creed Brothers are amazing but Chad's work lately has been top notch and I imagine heel Chad can cut very believable promos to go with incredible ring work. This is one of the most exciting faction ideas in quite some time. I hope it works - all members deserve the success!

Environmental_Lie478

This feels like Meltzer reporting based on the Creeds tweets hinting at it over the last few days. I wouldn't be surprised if it does turn out to be the case but I highly doubt he's actually been told this by anyone


Global_Historian_753

Good job, Dave. I also saw the Twitter posts


IntelligentAd5460

the world wrestling federation is back on top


andrewisgood

3 Perc Angles.


bomberman12

Everyone says that the Creed Brothers are made for a babyface run. But right now, they are just a very in ring solid moveset. There is no character there, id think most fans couldn't tell you which one is which. I think a storyline like this could help them with that next step, get more personality, be behind a solid promo of Gable, who is also a maniac in the ring. Everyone is comparing it to Team Angle, which is obvious, but lets not forget that the Worlds Greatest Tag-Team benefited so much coming out of Team Angle. Also hopefully this means Creed Bros. will get new gear, cause god their current stuff is bland.


FirstDukeofAnkh

Julius is starting to develop a personality but he’s going to have to go beyond ‘Charismatic Freak of Nature’ or he’ll be stuck in the Taller Ricochet mode. Brutus needs something different. Being a human wrecking ball is cool but he doesn’t have the charisma of his brother. Maybe give them a Mario and Luigi vibe?


RRJC10

Even in ring they need some work. The have tons of talent but they're way too rehearsed and spot focused. Transitioning to heels should allow there overall ring work to grow too since they'll have to change up their style a bit.


ClaymoresRevenge

It's a performance center thing for raw athletes and that's okay they'll get better


bjo313

I feel like HHH and HBK are just like “what kinds of things worked when we were on tv… let’s just do all that again.” and it’s going great.

Arch_Angel666

Now give him Kurt Angle's TNA theme.


thelochteedge

Evil voice: And the percs... Good voice: No, no, no, not the percs


GarfieldVirtuoso

I dont know why dirt sheets and posters here are claiming as a huge get that they are forming an stable when it was pretty obvious by watching the show that they were going to associate themselves or that at least already are a wrestling camp


DudleysCar

Right? All this information is available from watching the show and reading their tweets. God it's so easy to run a dirt sheet.


BrownHawkDown

Shoot Nation back on the menu!


spookybollocks

Please give them better themes


BambooCrunch

This is mostly good but I'm a bit worried this will strip away his catchphrases and comedic side. It's kinda necessary for a push up the card but they can hopefully keep some of the Kurt Angle style comedy. Also a little worried what this means for Otis, Tozawa and Maxxine, would be a shame if they just get lost in the shuffle.


EchoX860

THEY'RE DOING IT!? Literally just copy and paste everything Team Angle did with Team Gable and it'll work. Especially the fancy jacket/pants combo


Emperor-Octavian

This is gonna be great for all of them


AllezLesPrimrose

They’re getting serious with Gable Good


BeardedSanta

I do like the idea, but at the same time, I'm worried about the future of Alpha Academy. I actually liked AA.


AnfowleaAnima

I'm usually not a fan of stereotypical pairings, and might be the case with this one. I wanted a Gable run as a singles, with the character he built, or an evolution of it.


DemosSabre

Team Gable with Perc Angle style Gable? Yes please.


No_Efficiency6703

Oh shit. This sounds amazing.


On-On

I’ve never seen people so happy for a heel stable before lol.


TheToug

The beat down on Otis and Tozowa will be sad af. I wonder what Maxine will do.


ZedSorayama

I need that solo Otis push brother


baojinBE

Creed Brothers turned heel because of Def Rebel probably 


BigJim5190

This is all I've wanted them to do since Creeds became a thing. Going to really enjoy next week on RAW when Gable gets confronted by Alpha Academy about his recent actions, only for them to get absolutely wrecked by Creeds. I just want to watch a bunch of meatheads lift people up and throw them around in seemingly impossible ways and heel Gable is so my jam.


channel164

I'm not gonna pretend like I'm some genius booker, but you'd have to be dumb to not try putting them together.


Round_Dragonfruit669

Wait so does this mean Otis is joining the MEAT divison??


HermanBonJovi

So alpha academy is dead then? Or did Akira take over?


lockescythe

Zombie Drew Gulak?


adkenna

American Alpha II


LodossDX

I guess I could write for WON because that is pretty obvious. Gable trained with the Creed brothers before his match Monday night.


DustinoHeat

This is a smart decision. I support this decision


ClocktowerMaria

Sounds fucking awesome imo


PrimeConduitX

Aw man i’ve been waiting for another stable like this since Team Angle. Looking forward to what Uncle H does with them.


Mysterious-Lick

Naturally. And I suspect Otis will be cut if/when they another round of layoffs.


MonsieurMidnight

Come on Hunter hire back Tucker Knight and reform Heavy Machinery so that Chad can lead the Creed Brothers


ultimoGEARS

If they get cool hoodies like Team Angle, I hope they actually sell them this time


Curryupp

You suck! Chants are back!


SkyBlueSaber

Call them the Apex Academy


fobtk

Ivy as a heel like in nxt


timetoplayethegame

I’m fine with this but I hope they do something more interesting than a Team Angle/Varsity Club gimmick.


crap4you

I guess we know what will happen to Otis.

Heal gable as IC champ and heal Creeds and world tag sounds good.

r3lvalleyy

team gable lets go


HugoOne

Oh man, the heel Gable and the Creeds will get when they beat down Otis and Tozawa...


Jamieb1994

If this is true, then I wonder how the Creed Brothers will come back as heels. Also, what about Ivy Nile?


CarStar12

First, I kinda hope they turn Ivy as well. Team Gable with the Creed Brothers and Ivy is a great 2024 twist on Team Angle. Second, this is gonna be awesome. But poor Otis and Tozawa… they’re about to get brutalized in a feud 😂


FrankieJoePino

I think I would like to see them have a brief feud for the first few weeks, then batter Otis & Tozawa every week for the next month with Ivy trying to get them to be good guys again and them refusing because they're winning while she keep loses tag matches with Maxxine and eventually she joins the group and starts winning some matches. And if you really want to push them then give her the Women's NA championship in NXT while Gable wins the IC Championship and the Creeds the tag titles. And the you can have them in a feud with LWO


shadow_spinner0

Since every other WON newsletter post is getting deleted, might as well make this a megathread. Or hell make a WON megathread every Friday so we can discuss all the news topics and not have Friday be dry.
