The May 9 episode of “SmackDown Live” delivered a surprise as the WWE Tag Team Champions, The Street Profits, were upset by underdogs Fraxiom in a non-title tag match, just days before WWE Backlash 2025. Here’s how it all went down.
The Street Profits vs. Fraxiom
The champs came into the match banged up from their brutal TLC match on the April 25 episode of SmackDown. Montez Ford was nursing cracked ribs, and Angelo Dawkins was still dealing with elbow and knee issues, giving Fraxiom a clear physical edge.

But injuries aside, Nathan Frazer and Axiom made the most of their opportunity, showcasing their high-flying offense and team chemistry. The performance proved that Fraxiom is a legitimate contender in the tag division.

The match had the crowd on its feet. Fraxiom relied on speed and aerial attacks, while The Street Profits used their trademark agility and charisma. It was back and forth from start to finish, with no team in full control.
In the final moments, Frazer held Ford in place as Axiom soared off the top rope with a picture-perfect dropkick. Axiom made the pin, and the Dayton, Ohio crowd exploded.

Since debuting as a team, Fraxiom has impressed with its fast-paced, crowd-pleasing style. This win wasn’t just a fluke — it was a statement. If there were any doubts before, Fraxiom just made their case for a future shot at the gold.
