During the long-running collaboration between TNA and WWE, fans were treated to exciting cross-promotional tag team matches featuring The Hardy Boyz and FrAxiom. Nathan Frazier reflected on their bout at WWE NXT Roadblock, describing it as a personal highlight.
Frazier shared on the “No Contest Wrestling Podcast” how facing The Hardys, one of the greatest tag teams ever, was a dream come true. He expressed immense pride in the performance they delivered, emphasizing that competing on such a prominent NXT event at the Theater at Air Garden and leaving a lasting impact felt surreal. He even hinted at the possibility of a future rematch with Matt and Jeff Hardy.
In that memorable match, Matt and Jeff Hardy defended their TNA World Tag Team Championship against Frazier and Axiom, who were also the reigning NXT Tag Team Champions at the time. Despite their championship status, Frazier had long hoped for this showdown and had approached NXT’s head booker Shawn Michaels with the idea. Michaels supported the concept, agreeing to book the match when the timing was right. Eventually, the much-anticipated encounter took place at NXT, with Frazier feeling extremely confident going into the contest.
