Axiom seems to share Nathan Frazer’s sentiments, adding that he agrees with the notion that their pairing came together out of nowhere, but not necessarily his view on tag team wrestling.

 “But there is something about tag team wrestling that is so special, right?” Axiom said. “When you have these long matches, and everything kind of clicks, and the crowd is really into it? There are more people in the ring, like, the action you can get in tag team wrestling is way higher than in singles wrestling!”

“Getting my mind into it, and applying my holds and submissions, from this creation that was FrAxiom? It was one of the best times in our careers, I have to say,” Axiom claimed. Frazer then interestingly noted that FrAxiom was never meant to be a long-term tag team plan. 

“I’m sure you remember, just us, bickering back and forth for, just, what seemed like months on TV,” he reminded Axiom. “The plan was originally meant to split us.”

Frazer added that he originally wanted to become a singles heel and that the tag team would’ve eventually led to the classic heel betrays babyface tag team trope. 

“Everything was just clicking and firing on all cylinders, and we just both went to Shawn [Michaels] and were like: ‘Shawn! Don’t do it! Don’t, don’t, please don’t do it,'” he recalled, adding that NXT Stand and Deliver 2023 was going to be a Hair vs. Mask match between the two of them.
