Why Shawn Michaels Thinks Two WWE Stars Are The Best In The Business

Shawn Michaels is high on two WWE SmackDown stars.

Back in April, Nathan Frazer and Axiom, better known as Fraxiom, were promoted to the main roster after an excellent run in NXT.

The pair have been teaming together since December 2023 after deciding they were better off working together instead of being rivals. After joining forces, the exciting duo went on to win the NXT Tag Team Championship twice, while becoming the first WWE-contracted wrestlers to defend their titles in TNA.

Since arriving on SmackDown, Fraxiom has remained undefeated, seeing off the likes of Pretty Deadly and Angel & Berto.

Shawn Michaels Full Of Praise For Fraxiom

During an appearance on Stay Busy with Armon Sadler, NXT boss Shawn Michaels was full of praise for the duo, who he believes still have the potential to excel as singles stars.

When it was put to the Heartbreak Kid that Fraxiom is the best tag team in wrestling right now, he admitted it would be difficult to disagree.

“Yeah, well look, I would 100 percent agree with the people that say that (Fraxiom is the best tag team right now). I think right now, they are clicking on all cylinders. Very proud of both of them. They’re two young men that were extremely talented.

Known them since they came into NXT UK. Got an opportunity to work with both of them. Not quite from the ground up for the both of them but still pretty darn close. They were talented as singles. Very gifted. Still are. Kind of stuck their toe in the water here and there with tag team but once they really committed to being a team, they have taken it to another level and as you said, I think people — again, both of them, my goodness.

We’re talking about an average age of maybe 25, 26 years old and people really do sincerely consider them possibly the best tag team in the industry right now and that’s amazing praise for two guys, again, at their age and like I said, also still two very accomplished singles wrestlers that can go with anybody at any time.

But their commitment to the tag team division and their tag team unity has just been amazing and I think it’s, you know, over the last year has shown people that they’re somebody that deserves to be looked at in a very, very serious manner.”

Fraxoim is set to challenge The Street Profits for the WWE Tag Team Championship on the May 23 edition of SmackDown. Frazer and Axiom became the number one contenders after beating #DIY.
