Austin Creed Hints at a New Gaming Project After Joining AEW
Austin Creed is considering a new gaming project after leaving WWE and joining AEW.
Creed, formerly known as Xavier Woods, hosted WWE’s UpUpDownDown YouTube channel, where wrestlers played games and took part in challenges.
WWE owns the UpUpDownDown name and channel, so any new project would need a different name.
Creed hinted that he might work again with Da Party, the gaming group that includes Tyler Breeze, Adam Cole and Claudio Castagnoli.
He did not confirm that a new channel is being made, and said building good relationships with AEW’s wrestlers comes first.
Whether the group reunites or launches a project remains unclear.

What people are saying
Because I believe in myself creatively enough that if I want to, I just build something else.
The chance of something to be created is available.
I will not confirm or deny if anyone has been filming anything or if anyone has been creating assets for a new YouTube channel — I will not confirm or deny that.
But that rapport with the locker room is first and foremost the most important thing.
