5 things WWE NXT 2.0 got right before Halloween Havoc: Johnny Gargano reenters title picture; Diamond Mine suffers setback

#4. Imperium handed The Creed Brothers their first loss on WWE NXT 2.0

The Creed Brothers have been looking to make a statement as part of Diamond Mine on WWE NXT 2.0. Malcolm Bivens came out with the group to explain that Diamond Mine was done playing nice.

Julius and Brutus Creed prepared to take on NXT UK’s Imperium in a tag team match. The brothers manhandled Marcel Bartel and Fabian Aichner early on to showcase their superior strength.

Imperium mounted a comeback, but Roderick Strong distracted them to allow The Creed Brothers to regain control of the bout. Just when it looked like Julius and Brutus would pick up the win, Ikemen Jiro and KUSHIDA arrived.

Brutus was distracted by their arrival, and Bartel took advantage to stack him up for the pin. After the match, MSK attacked Imperium and gave them a shot at the NXT Tag Team Championships for Halloween Havoc.

NXT 2.0 made the right call to allow an established team to hand Creed Brothers their first loss without denting their value. Meanwhile, it’ll be good to watch Jiro team up with KUSHIDA to take on the brothers. It will keep the heels out of the NXT Tag Team titles picture for some time.
