About Xavier Woods

Austin Watson (born September 4, 1986) is an American professional wrestler and YouTuber. He is best known for his tenure in WWE, where he performed under the ring name Xavier Woods as a member of The New Day. Watson also makes public appearances outside of wrestling under the name Austin Creed. Watson previously worked for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) as Consequences Creed, and was a one-time TNA World Tag Team Champion with Jay Lethal as Lethal Consequences. After signing with WWE in 2010, he was assigned to its developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) and adopted the ring name Xavier Woods. FCW was later closed and rebranded as NXT, where Woods worked until he was called up to the main roster in 2013. In 2014, Woods formed The New Day alongside Big E and Kofi Kingston, and has since become a record seven-time SmackDown Tag Team Champion, five-time World Tag Team Champion, and one-time NXT Tag Team Champion, making him an overall 13-time tag team champion in WWE. New Day's second reign with the Raw Tag Team Championship was the longest tag team title reign of any male tag team championship in WWE history until that record was broken in February 2021. In October 2021, Woods became the 22nd winner of the King of the Ring tournament and briefly went by the name of King Woods. With his NXT Tag Team Championship win in 2022, Woods also became a Tag Team Triple Crown Champion. Since 2015, Watson, as Austin Creed, has hosted a gaming YouTube channel titled UpUpDownDown, where he invites fellow WWE performers, gaming personalities, friends, and guests to play games. He was also a host on the G4 television network, which covers video games, following its revival in 2020 until its end in 2022. In 2006, Creed won NWA's Most Popular Wrestler, voted for by the NWA fans. Creed later wrestled in the first ever TerrorDome match at Sacrifice, which was won by Kaz. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand under the ring name Xavier Woods and is a member of The New Day.
