On the December 5, 2023 episode of NXT , Axiom and Frazer faced each other in a singles match, which was interrupted by the competitors in the women's Iron Survivor Challenge, causing the match to end in a no contest. A rematch between the two was later scheduled for the NXT Deadline Kickoff pre-show, in which Axiom defeated Frazer. In the aftermath, the two decided to team up and subsequently entered the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament and managed to defeat Hank Walker and Tank Ledger in the first round on the January 9, 2024 episode of NXT, before being ultimately eliminated in the semi-finals by The Wolf Dogs (Baron Corbin and Bron Breakker) on the January 23 episode of NXT.

[5] In a rematch on the following episode of NXT, Axiom and Frazer defeated The Wolf Dogs to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions.

[8] After multiple successful title defenses, on the August 13 episode of NXT, Axiom and Frazer lost the titles to Chase University's Andre Chase and Ridge Holland, ending their first reign at 126 days.
