The latest episode of WWE SmackDown in Barcelona, Spain, featured an intense showdown between World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and Axiom in front of the latter’s home crowd. However, the match unexpectedly led to a temporary split in one of WWE’s most exciting tag teams, as Nathan Frazer was not even invited to the show.
Axiom Competes Solo Against Gunther, Leaving Frazer Behind
Axiom, one-half of the NXT Tag Team Champions Fraxiom, made a surprise appearance on SmackDown to face Gunther in a high-profile match. The two competitors were familiar with each other from their previous encounters, and the Barcelona crowd was fully behind the Spanish superstar.
However, fans quickly noticed the absence of Nathan Frazer, Axiom’s tag team partner and co-holder of the NXT Tag Team Titles. It was later revealed that Frazer had no idea his partner would be competing on SmackDown and wasn’t even invited to the event.
This unexpected situation left Fraxiom separated for the night, sparking concerns among fans about the future of the duo.
Nathan Frazer Calls Out Axiom for the Sudden Split
Nathan Frazer did not take the situation lightly. The British high-flyer was furious when he found out that Axiom had gone to SmackDown without informing him. In response, he publicly called out his partner, questioning why Axiom hadn’t let him know in advance.
When Axiom responded that he tried to call Frazer, his partner was unimpressed and sarcastically replied:
“I was either busy or ASLEEP. Why didn’t you just send a DM???”
While the exchange appeared lighthearted, it does raise questions about potential tension between the two partners. Could this moment be the beginning of a future storyline where Fraxiom splits permanently, or was it just a minor misunderstanding?
Is Fraxiom’s Future in Jeopardy?
Despite the frustration, Fraxiom’s future as a tag team seems safe for now. The duo has been inseparable since forming their partnership in NXT, and they are one of the most beloved tag teams in WWE. While this SmackDown incident created temporary friction, it is unlikely to lead to an immediate split.
However, WWE could use this moment as a tease for a future rivalry, setting up a Fraxiom breakup storyline down the line. With Axiom getting solo opportunities against top stars like Gunther, Frazer may start questioning his own role in the team.
For now, fans will have to wait and see if this SmackDown separation has any lasting consequences for Axiom and Nathan Frazer.
