this Friday on SmackDown, their biggest endorsement yet has come from none other than
Shawn Michaels
. Speaking on the Stay Busy with Armon Sadler podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer praised their development and teamwork, saying the young duo is 'clicking on all cylinders.'
From NXT rivals to SmackDown standouts
Michaels, who currently serves as WWE's Senior Vice President of Talent Development, has overseen
Fraxiom
's progress since their early NXT UK days. According to him, the duo initially 'dipped their toes' into the tag team waters before fully committing—and the results speak for themselves.
'I would 100 percent agree with the people who say that,' Michaels said when asked if Fraxiom is the best tag team in WWE today. 'They are clicking on all cylinders. Very proud of both of them.'

The praise didn't stop there. Michaels highlighted their individual skills, saying both wrestlers are still capable singles performers but have unlocked a new level of chemistry as a unit. 'We're talking about an average age of maybe 25, 26 years old. People sincerely consider them possibly the best tag team in the industry right now,' he added.
Since their main roster debut on SmackDown in April 2025, Fraxiom have stayed undefeated with key wins over Los Garza, Pretty Deadly, #DIY, and The Street Profits. Their fast-paced, dynamic style has drawn comparisons to legendary teams, and now their consistency has turned them into serious title contenders.
'They're in their mid-20s and people sincerely consider them the best tag team in the industry,' Michaels added. 'That's amazing praise for two guys at their age.'
Fraxiom earned a title shot by defeating #DIY and will now look to claim championship gold on the May 23 edition of SmackDown. Michaels noted that their commitment to the tag team division is what truly sets them apart.
All eyes will be on Fraxiom this Friday as they face one of WWE's most experienced duos in The Street Profits. With Shawn Michaels publicly backing them, expectations are higher than ever.
'Their tag team unity has just been amazing,' Michaels said. 'They deserve to be looked at in a very serious manner.'
With momentum on their side and the confidence of one of WWE's most respected figures behind them, Fraxiom may just be on the verge of a defining moment in their young careers.

WWE Money in the Bank 2025 set for Inglewood with full match card revealed
WWE superstars prepare for Money in the Bank 2025, featuring ladder matches, a women's title defense, and a tag team contest live from Inglewood, California WWE will present the 16th annual Money in the Bank premium live event this weekend at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The event maintains WWE's recent trend of short-format shows and includes four matches on the main card. As customary, two of those matches will be the signature men's and women's Money in the Bank ladder matches. The women's Money in the Bank match features six competitors: Alexa Bliss, Roxanne Perez, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, Naomi, and Rhea Ripley. The field offers a balance of veteran talent and new contenders. On the men's side, Seth Rollins leads the lineup alongside LA Knight, Andrade, Solo Sikoa, Penta, and El Grande Americano. Rollins, who previously won the Money in the Bank match in 2014 and cashed in successfully at WrestleMania 31, enters as the favorite. These ladder matches will determine which male and female competitors receive future championship match opportunities at a time and place of their choosing. In the lone championship bout on the card, Lyra Valkyria will defend the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Becky Lynch. This marks the second meeting between the two during this title reign. Valkyria defeated Lynch last month at WWE Backlash. Per the stipulation, if Lynch fails to win, she will not be eligible to challenge for the title again during Valkyria's current reign. The card also features a tag team match with high-profile implications. Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso will face the pairing of John Cena and Logan Paul. Rhodes recently lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cena at WrestleMania 41 in April. Jey Uso, meanwhile, successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Paul in a recent encounter. The match pairs longtime allies Rhodes and Uso against opponents with recent title history, contributing additional storyline context to the event. Cena and Paul team up following their respective championship pursuits, while Rhodes and Uso continue to align as key figures in WWE's top-tier narrative arcs. With the final card confirmed, WWE Money in the Bank 2025 positions itself as one of the company's major summer events. The combination of title stakes, ladder match suspense, and returning stars adds multiple layers of interest heading into the show at the Intuit Dome.
