"Quite the hypocritical action" – Roderick Strong on tag team on NXT

​

Roderick Strong reportedly requested WWE for his release multiple times this year.

NXT star Roderick Strong recently said The Creed Brothers should be grateful to him for giving them an ultimatum on this week's NXT 2.0.

Strong is the leader of the Diamond Mine faction comprising, which includes The Creed Brothers (Brutus & Julius Creed), Damon Kemp, and Ivy Nile. Strong is reportedly out of action due to an injury. But, according to a report by The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, his injury is part of a storyline to increase the tension between The Creed brothers and him.

On the latest edition of NXT 2.0, Strong made his presence known amongst his faction members, saying he's the leader and is furious they interrupted his match against Pretty Deadly. He added that the best way to get revenge is if The Creed Brothers defeat NXT Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly at In Your House for the gold.

Recently, the NXT star tweeted that The Creed Brothers were being hypocritical and should be thankful to him for their match at In Your House:

"Quite the hypocritical action by said #creedbrothers. They should be thanking me for even being in this position. #ThankMe"
