Axiom vs Nathan Frazer Set for Kickoff Match at NXT Deadline
Axiom is scheduled to go head-to-head against Nathan Frazer in a one-on-one matchup during the kickoff show at NXT Deadline 2023 event.
Axiom and Frazer were set to compete on December 5 episode of NXT, but their match concluded without a clear winner. The reason is that participants of the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge started brawling at ringside, causing the match between Axiom and Frazer to end in a no-contest.
Following the no-contest result of their match, WWE subsequently announced that Axiom and Frazer would now face each other in a showdown during the kickoff show at the NXT Deadline 2023 event.
