Folks, it’s happening—the action-packed WWE NXT episode in St. Louis is getting even bigger! And if you thought Randy Orton vs. Je’Von Evans was the main event, well, buckle up because we’ve got another barnburner lined up. Nathan Frazer and Axiom, your reigning NXT Tag Team Champions, are putting their titles on the line against two brash SmackDown stars, Grayson Waller and Austin Theory—a duo who have dubbed themselves A-Town Down Under. Yeah, it’s as intense as it sounds.
Here’s how it went down: Frazer and Axiom, fresh off reclaiming their NXT Tag Team Championships at No Mercy by toppling Chase U, are riding high. Meanwhile, Chase U’s implosion is still sending shockwaves after Ridge Holland turned on his own teammates, leaving a trail of broken friendships and crushed dreams. But enough about Chase U—let’s get back to the real news.
Waller and Theory, not content with just holding the WWE Tag Team Championships from WrestleMania 40, decided they needed more gold—NXT gold, to be exact. And in the most “Grayson Waller” fashion possible, they took to X (formerly known as Twitter, for those of you keeping track), threw down the challenge, and made it clear: they’ve got their sights set on Frazer and Axiom’s belts. Apparently, these guys have some unfinished business from their previous NXT runs, and they’re determined to fill that NXT Tag Team Championship-sized hole in their resumes.
Before these teams lock horns in St. Louis on October 8, Waller and Theory will be hosting a special episode of The Grayson Waller Effect—because nothing says “we’re ready to win” like stirring up drama on a talk show. Expect some mind games, insults, and maybe even a sneak attack—classic Waller.
So here’s the rundown:
- Frazer and Axiom, the reigning champs, are in their second reign and have something to prove after reclaiming those belts.
- Waller and Theory, the cocky, self-proclaimed future champs, want to take those titles home—and you know they won’t stop until they do.
With this blockbuster match now added to the St. Louis lineup, alongside Randy Orton vs. Je’Von Evans, it’s safe to say that October 8 is going to be one wild night of wrestling.
