Curtis Axel was formerly known as Michael Mcgillicutty in NXT and was not a bad talker on the mic. But even the best superstars have their bad days, and Michael's came on an episode of NXT.

He lost NXT season 2 to Kaval, also known as Low-Ki, and looked visibly upset. When he was given the mic to air his grievances, he botched his promo in a glorious manner.

It seemed that Axel had forgotten his lines completely, and was fumbling a lot during his promo. His failed attempts to look like a badass by speaking in a heavy tone didn't help either. Michael ended his promo by saying something along the lines of,
"It's time for the genesis of Mcgillicutty."
He proceeded to leave the ring after the promo and knew that his promo was a complete disaster. Thankfully, he somehow managed to secure a spot on the main roster before being released by the company.
His promo was anything but 'perfect'.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
