Axiom & Nathan Frazer win WWE NXT Tag Team titles

New champions were crowned on NXT.

Tuesday’s show saw Nathan Frazer and Axiom defeat Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin to win the NXT Tag Team titles for the first time. The finish came when Breakker accidentally ran into Corbin in the corner. The momentary distraction allowed Frazer and Axiom to send Breaker through the ropes and to the floor, where Frazer followed up by hitting the phoenix splash on Corbin for the win.

After the match, the new champions were jumped by Karrion Kross and AOP, The Final Testament. AOP gave both the super collider before standing over the champions, posing with their titles.

This ends the reign of Breakker and Corbin after 57 days. They defeated Tony D’Angelo and Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo on the February 13 edition of NXT. Earlier that month, they won the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament, earning a title shot.

Axiom & Frazer had won a three-way match to earn a shot at the Tag Team titles at NXT Stand & Deliver this past weekend, ultimately unsuccessful in winning the titles. NXT Anonymous on X captured footage of Axiom & Frazer asking Ava for a title rematch. The match was agreed to under the stipulation that if Axiom and Frazer lose, they would never be able to team again.

Sarray is making her return to NXT following a trip home to Japan.

On Sunday, Sarray announced that she was headed back to the United States following a month-long trip to Japan. Sarray had tweeted on November 13 that she was back in Japan but would return to the United States soon. She thanked everyone for their patience.

“First time in 9 months in Japan. Surrounded by family, friends, and people I love. I got a lot of power from them,” Sarray tweeted on Sunday (translated from Japanese). “Life shines because we dream! I’m going back to America! I’m off…”

Sarray was last in action on the November 9 episode of NXT, losing a match against Kay Lee Ray. 

After signing with WWE, Sarray (formerly known as Sareee) made her NXT debut this April. She was originally supposed to start with NXT in 2020, but that was delayed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
