Nathan Frazer emerged as one of WWE’s fastest-rising high-flyers through explosive athleticism, nonstop energy, and an approach to wrestling that constantly pushes the pace of matches. Many fans compare his style to Seth Rollins because of the speed, movement, and aggression he brings into the ring. That comparison is not accidental since Frazer was trained by Rollins at the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy. Over time, he became one of WWE’s standout younger talents and a major figure in the NXT tag team division through his partnership with Axiom in Fraxiom.
Born Benjamin Timms on July 23, 1998, in Jersey, Channel Islands, Frazer started wrestling professionally at a relatively young age. Before joining WWE, he wrestled under names such as Benjamin Carter and Ben Carter on the independent circuit and briefly appeared in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Wrestling fans quickly noticed his speed and athletic ability, with many considering him one of the top unsigned young wrestlers in the world during 2020.
Frazer’s brief run in AEW attracted attention because of his impressive television performances despite limited appearances. His matches against Ricky Starks and Scorpio Sky showcased his athleticism to larger audiences for the first time. However, visa complications reportedly prevented him from being properly paid in the United States, and shortly afterward he signed with WWE.
After arriving in WWE, Frazer initially competed in NXT UK before transitioning to NXT in the United States. His performances quickly stood out because of his pace and intensity. WWE audiences increasingly viewed him as one of the company’s most exciting younger wrestlers, especially in matches involving ladder spots, fast counters, and aerial offense.
His career reached another level after forming the tag team Fraxiom with Axiom. Although the partnership initially appeared unstable because the two accidentally hit each other during matches, the chemistry between them eventually turned Fraxiom into one of NXT’s most popular tag teams. Fans and wrestling analysts frequently praised their matches for creativity, speed, and innovation. Shawn Michaels even publicly referred to Fraxiom as WWE’s best tag team during one stage of their rise.
Frazer also gained attention for his connection to Seth Rollins. Wrestling fans online frequently discuss similarities between their styles, with some predicting Frazer could eventually become a major singles star in WWE. Reddit discussions especially praise his speed, charisma, and ability to deliver exciting matches consistently.
Today, Nathan Frazer is recognized as one of WWE’s brightest young talents and one of the defining stars of modern NXT tag team wrestling.
##Early life
Benjamin Timms was born on July 23, 1998, in Jersey, Channel Islands. Growing up in the Channel Islands gave him a unique background compared to many British wrestlers who came from larger wrestling regions in England or Scotland. Frazer later became recognized as one of the first wrestlers from Jersey to achieve significant success in WWE.
As a child, Timms became heavily interested in professional wrestling and reportedly admired fast-paced wrestlers capable of combining athleticism with storytelling. Wrestling eventually became more than a hobby for him, and he later moved to the United States to pursue professional training opportunities.
Frazer trained at the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy under Seth Rollins and Marek Brave. The academy became known for producing highly athletic wrestlers with strong fundamentals, and Rollins himself reportedly took a close interest in Frazer’s development. Many fans later pointed to Frazer’s movement and offense as evidence of Rollins’ influence.
His early training focused heavily on conditioning, speed, and pacing. Unlike wrestlers who worked a slower power-based style, Frazer developed into a nonstop high-energy performer capable of maintaining rapid match tempos. Trainers reportedly viewed him as naturally athletic with unusually quick movement for his experience level.
Before WWE fame, Timms worked throughout independent wrestling promotions in the United States and Europe. Wrestling under the names Benjamin Carter and Ben Carter, he gradually built a reputation among hardcore wrestling fans as one of the industry’s top young prospects.
Outside wrestling, Frazer became known as a fan of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. In 2023, he also publicly announced that he had become a born-again Christian after being baptized. Fans responded positively to his openness about his faith and personal beliefs.
His determination to leave Jersey and pursue wrestling internationally demonstrated strong commitment at an early age. Many fans later viewed his journey as proof that wrestlers from smaller regions could still reach WWE through persistence and skill.
