Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Joseph Curtis Hennig (born October 1, 1979) is an American professional wrestler who worked for WWE as Curtis Axel. He debuted in 2010 in the second season of WWE NXT as Michael McGillicutty, where he was the runner-up, and later joined The Nexus. After the Nexus angle had run its course, he and Otunga still tagged together, as they were the Tag Team Champions during the demise of The Nexus, until they lost their Tag Team titles to Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston, and he returned to NXT.Two years later, he returned with a new look and a new ring name, Curtis Axel, with Paul Heyman as his manager. He quickly surged to relevance by capturing the Intercontinental Championship, joining his father as the only father/son pair to have held the Intercontinental Championship.He is a one time Intercontinental Champion and a two time WWE/Raw Tag Team Champion, with David Otunga (although this reign was under his Michael McGillicutty moniker) and Bo Dallas.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In 2008, Pro Wrestling Illustrated named him "Rookie of the Year," ahead of fellow third-generation wrestler Brett DiBiase, second-generation wrestler Richie Steamboat and Ryan McBride.In April 2020, he was released from WWE due to budget cuts that stemmed from the COVID-19 Pandemic. He hasn't wrestled since.

Aborted Arc: His "Axelmania" gimmick (along with a "Meta Powers" gimmick with Damien Sandow as "Macho Mandow") was dropped when WWE severed ties with Hulk Hogan over his racist remarks.

Arch-Enemy: As a "Paul Heyman" guy, CM Punk. With Tyson Kidd. Sadly this was only showcased on NXT, but their feud was about how Kidd wasn't a second or third generation wrestler and how he hung out with the Harts.
