Bio: Is it possible to be truly better than perfect? Curtis Axel is on a mission to find out just that.[]
Despite being the son of WWE Hall of Famer “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig, the Superstar once known as Michael McGillicutty has fought and clawed to make a name for himself throughout his entire WWE career. After stints in The New Nexus and a WWE Tag Team Championship run alongside David Otunga, he realized his wish in May 2013; that’s when Paul Heyman remolded the third-generation Superstar, and replaced his WWE-given name with a moniker that pays homage to both Perfect and his father, Larry "The Axe" Hennig.[]
Officially reborn, Curtis Axel wasted no time following in his father’s footsteps, capturing the Intercontinental Championship under the tutelage of Heyman and finding a footing in the tag team division alongside Ryback as the bullying duo dubbed RybAxel. Finding a place among The Social Outcasts, Axel continued to set his sights on squared circle greatness. He’s also the longest-running Royal Rumble Match competitor of all time, at least if you ask him.[]
Now, after being recruited alongside Bo Dallas to be part of The Miz's Miztourage, Curtis Axel will draw a whole different kind of star power.[]
