I could swear they made Fraxiom's and Naomi's new theme songs with Suno.

So Berto is turning face against Angel and Santos soon it seems, I'd rather they kept the cousins together and give them the tag belts at last, it's not like the Profits are having a memorable run with them

Actually a great move to have Knight go over, he is still very over with the crowd and everyone expected Aleister to win.

That main event makes me wish the Usos were still a team to feud with Fraxiom.

Fraxiom couldn't tie usos shoe laces. Not at you this dude but I just don't get the hype around Fraxiom . Said it last night , think they're bland for WWE. Why the tag team division sucks. New Day , Viking Raiders, MCMG ( way past their prime ) Street Profits . Rest I can't even name.

They are nothing special characters-wise but these two haven't had a single bad match in two years.

1, Fraxiom have been having great tag matches on NXT all throughout last year

2. Why are you trying to slag the tag division off by naming a bunch of great teams? It’s the booking(especially on Raw) not the quality of the teams.

I'm not slagging off anyone . They may be great for you but for me they're not. It's not that I'm slagging anyone off I just think they tag team scene in all wrestling could be better.

I don't follow Fraxiom and like I said I don't get the hype around them . By far the best tag team are The Creed Brothers
