Curtis Axel Released By WWE

WWE announced Curtis Axel has been released from the company.

The company posted a statement on WWE.com which reads as follows:

WWE has come to terms on the release of Curtis Axel.

We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

Axel, the son of “Mr. Perfect” aka Curt Hennig, signed a developmental deal with WWE in 2007. Hennig took part in the second season of NXT as Michael McGillicutty, then was part of Nexus. The wrestler got repackaged in 2013 as Curtis Axel on RAW to pay homage to his father and grandfather, Larry ‘The Axe’ Hennig, with Paul Heyman as his manager. That eventually ended though.

Axel was additionally part of the Social Outcasts and most recently the B-Team with Bo Dallas.

The 40-year-old wrestler is a one-time Intercontinental champion and two-time tag champ.

As we previously reported, WWE is cutting talent in an effort save money due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company.

 

The B-Team Officially Moved To SmackDown Live

Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel — aka The B-Team — are now part of the SmackDown Live roster.

The roster change was reflected yesterday afternoon on their WWE.com profiles following a report saying they had been quietly moved as part of the Superstar Shake-Up.

The duo formerly known as The Miztourage changed their name in 2018 after The Miz was drafted to SmackDown Live. B-Team eventually defeated Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy to capture the RAW Tag Team titles, but their reign only lasted 50 days. They’ve been used sparingly ever since.
