Creed Brothers Debut in AEW as the Kasper Brothers at Full Gear
Summary: The former WWE Creed Brothers, Julius and Brutus, debuted in AEW as the Kasper Brothers at Full Gear on Saturday, Nov. 14, in Phoenix. They attacked The Young Bucks, and FTR then turned on the Bucks too.
The quick version
- The Kasper Brothers, Drew and Jacob, are the former Brutus and Julius Creed of WWE, per Wrestling Inc. They debuted in AEW right after The Young Bucks beat Mark Davis and Jake Doyle at Full Gear.
- They attacked the Bucks and the Motor City Machine Guns. FTR came out, faced them down, then also attacked the Bucks and the Machine Guns.
- AEW has not said what deal the brothers have. This story is written from live accounts, not from AEW's own recap, which was not up when we wrote.
Two men who wrestled in WWE as the Creed Brothers made their AEW debut at Full Gear on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix. They appeared as the Kasper Brothers, Drew and Jacob, and went straight at The Young Bucks. Wrestling Inc. and Cageside Seats both covered it live. We did not watch the show.
What happened
The Young Bucks had just kept the AEW World Tag Team Championship over Davis and Doyle. The Motor City Machine Guns, Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, came out and raised the Bucks' arms. Sirens sounded and the words "Kasper Brothers" appeared on the screen, per Wrestling Inc.
The brothers ran to the ring and attacked the Bucks. The Machine Guns pulled them off. FTR then came out and stared them down, per both live blogs.
Then FTR turned on the Bucks and the Machine Guns. The live blogs differ on small points. Cageside Seats says the Kaspers and FTR reached for the tag belts together and Stokely Hathaway, FTR's manager, picked them up himself and hugged all four men. Wrestling Inc. says Dax Harwood and Jacob Kasper fought over one belt before Hathaway calmed them and held the belts up.
AEW's own post, as Wrestling Inc. embedded it, read "The Kasper Brothers are here" and said they were after the AEW World Tag Team Champions. Cageside Seats says Drew, the former Brutus, spoke into the camera. Its summary is that the brothers want to be in AEW because it has the best wrestling around. That is Cageside's paraphrase, not a quote we can check.
The name
Wrestling Inc. gives the names as Drew Kasper, formerly Brutus Creed, and Jacob Kasper, formerly Julius Creed. We use the spelling in AEW's post as Wrestling Inc. embedded it. Other headlines we saw in search results spell the team name differently, so the spelling may still settle.
How they got here
Fightful Select reported on Nov. 6 that the Creeds had left WWE after their contracts expired. See our story on the exit and our earlier note on the alumni listing. Their last match in WWE was an NXT loss on Oct. 20.
FTR lost a best-of-five series to the Machine Guns, 3-2, on Nov. 11, which made the Machine Guns the next challengers for the tag titles. See our results from that show.
What we do not know
- What contract the Kasper Brothers have with AEW, and for how long.
- Whether FTR and the Kasper Brothers are now a team, or only working together tonight.
- What match comes next. AEW has not said.
