Woods and his fanbase had been lobbying for him to be included in the brand\'s relaunch. Supporters used the #Creed4G4 hashtag on social media.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I expect #Creed4G4 to gain so much momentum among WWE fans and gamers alike,” said Woods. “As a lifelong video game fanatic, I have always held a genuine affinity for the G4 brand, and I’m honored and humbled to be joining the G4 team at a time when interest in gaming and the gaming community has never been stronger.”
Considering he campaigned for the role using the name \" Austin Creed\" it seems notable that G4 is using his Xavier Woods name and WWE is actively promoting his involvement. He posted the following in June:
