Cody Rhodes headlined the latest episode of Monday Night RAW in a match against Shinsuke Nakamura. However, the bout took an unforeseen twist when The King of Strong Style employed red mist, leading to Rhodes winning by Disqualification. Following the match, Nakamura continued his assault on Cody, despite the officials' attempts to intervene. After this, the Creed Brothers made an unexpected appearance, rushing to Rhodes' aid and forcing Shinsuke to retreat.
However, the Creed Brothers' sudden involvement in saving The American Nightmare raises questions, given the apparent lack of prior connection between the tag team duo and Cody. A plausible explanation for their impromptu rescue mission could be their upcoming tag team title match against The Judgment Day.
For those who are unaware, Brutus and Julius Creed are set to challenge the villainous faction in the next episode of RAW, with Finn Balor and Damian Priest defending their titles against the formidable duo.

The decision to align the Creed Brothers with Cody Rhodes could be a strategic move to highlight them before their championship clash. The American Nightmare, being a significant babyface on the red brand, could help generate positive reactions for the former NXT Tag Team Champions leading up to their title opportunity.
This strategic alignment might also play a pivotal role in the storyline, potentially influencing the outcome of their championship match next week. To add a twist to the narrative, Shinsuke Nakamura might target the Creed Brothers in the next episode of RAW, potentially leading to their loss.
Overall, it will be interesting to see how things will unfold in the upcoming episodes of RAW between Rhodes and Nakamura. Additionally, whether Brutus and Julius Creed will be able to dethrone The Judgment Day in their title bout next week remains to be seen.
