NCAA Champions Turned WWE Stars Pay Homage to Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle in Iconic Fashion

‘In Your House’ PPV event offered many interesting matches, including Mandy Rose vs Wendy Choo, Bron Breakker vs Joe Gacy, and a few others. The battle between Creed Brothers and ‘Pretty Deadly’ was one of the most intense.

More interestingly, the Creed Brothers performed the iconic Brock Lock and Ankle Lock during the bout, which reminded WWE fans of WWE Legends Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle’s attacks. The NCAA champions turned WWE stars defeated ‘Pretty Deadly’ in the tag team battle to win the belts for the first time.

WWE’s developmental brand, NXT, offered one of the most intense and exciting events. There were many striking segments and attacks during the fight, such as Julius’ shooting star press, the steel step, and a few more. The most intriguing one, though, was when Julius Creed performed the ‘Brock Lock’ and Brutus Creed used the Ankle Lock (or ‘The Angle Lock’, as fans call it). However, this piqued the interest of WWE fans, as which they recall WWE icons.

The Beast Incarnation now uses Kimura Lock. But wrestling enthusiasts will remember Lesnar using his Brock Lock for a brief time about a decade ago, where Lesnar turned his opponent upside down and dangled his opponent’s knee over his huge neck, holding him upside-down until they tap.

Kurt Angle is renowned for his Ankle Lock, which he picked up from Ken Shamrock. Moreover, Julius Creed used a shooting star press on Kit Wilson to win the battle.

Brock Lesnar and other NCAA Champions have had immense success in WWE

WWE is constantly on the lookout for the next big things, which is why they’ve recruited a slew of UFC and NCAA athletes. Not only the Creed Brothers, but several NCAA championships have also embraced the ring. One of such was Brock Lesnar. Besides the UFC and WWE, Lesnar is a two-time NCAA All-American, two-time Big Ten Conference champion, and NCAA heavyweight champion.

Further, Shelton Benjamin is also a two-sport athlete in college, much like his friend Brock Lesnar was before becoming a professional wrestler. Benjamin has won the NJCAA title.
