Consequences Creed

**Austin Watson** (born September 4, 1986), is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name **Xavier Woods**. He is currently inactive due to an achilles injury. Watson also makes public appearances outside of wrestling under the name **Austin Creed**, a ring name he used as a wrestler during his first years.

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) under the ring name **Xavier Woods**. FCW was later rebranded into 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 have since become six-time SmackDown Tag Team Champions and two-time Raw Tag Team Champions, with their second reign being the longest tag team title reign in WWE history.
