Axiom vs The Miz
During last week’s show, Fraxiom (Axiom & Nathan Frazer) interrupted The Miz and Kit Wilson, who were being interviewed by Cathy Kelley backstage.
Axiom questioned Miz about why things had been going poorly for him recently and suggested that the curse (courtesy of Danhausen) might actually be real. Feeling disrespected by Fraxiom, The Miz challenged Axiom to a match in Barcelona, and Axiom accepted, making the match official for the May 29th edition.
