Professional wrestling career
Early career (2018–2020)
Benjamin Timms was trained by fellow professional wrestlers Seth Rollins and Marek Brave at the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy in the United States.[5] Timms made his professional wrestling debut in 2018 under the ring name Benjamin Carter, performing in various independent promotions and major promotions such as Impact Wrestling and All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
All Elite Wrestling (2020)
In 2020, Timms was invited by All Elite Wrestling's head of Talent Relations Christopher Daniels to appear for the promotion. Timms made his AEW debut in September 2020 at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida. Timms, under his ring name Ben Carter, faced off against Ricky Starks in a losing effort on AEW Dark.[6] Carter made his AEW Dynamite debut in the opening contest of 'Late Night Dynamite', losing against Scorpio Sky.[7] Carter went on to have a 1-2 record before signing with the WWE later that year.[8]
On October 2020, it was revealed that Carter could not get legally paid for his AEW matches, due to not having a valid work visa in the United States.[9]
WWE (2020–present)
NXT UK (2020–2022)
On 17 December 2020, WWE announced that they signed Timms. He was then assigned to the NXT UK where, on the episode 7 January 2021 episode, he made his debut under the ring name Ben Carter, facing Jordan Devlin for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship but lost. After defeating Josh Morell and Sam Gradwell, Carter was repackaged as Nathan Frazer on 11 March.
On the 3 June episode of NXT UK, Frazer and Jack Starz teamed up to face Pretty Deadly (Lewis Howley and Sam Stoker) for the NXT UK Tag Team Championship but were defeated. Later, Frazer competed to become the No. 1 contender for the NXT UK Heritage Cup but he lost to Teoman in the first round. Subsequently, Frazer also competed to become the No. 1 contender for the NXT United Kingdom Championship on 23 September, competed against A-Kid and Rampage Brown, where the former won. On 3 March 2022, Frazer fought his last match at NXT UK in a NXT United Kingdom Championship match, losing to Ilja Dragunov.
NXT (2022–present)
On 12 April 2022, it was announced that Frazer would make his NXT debut. At Spring Breakin' on 3 May, he debuted by defeating Grayson Waller due to the interference of Andre Chase.[10][11] On the 2 August episode of NXT 2.0, Frazer responded to Carmelo Hayes' open challenge for the NXT North American Championship but lost when Giovanni Vinci interfered.[12]
On the 13 June 2023 episode of NXT, Frazer defeated Oro Mensah 2–1, who wrestled on behalf of Noam Dar due to Dar suffering an injury to become the NXT Heritage Cup.[13] Frazer would lose the cup back to Dar 69 days later at NXT: Heatwave.[14] In late 2023, Frazer formed a tag team partnership with Axiom. In early 2024, the duo competed in the NXT Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament, defeating No Quarter Catch Crew (Charlie Dempsey and Myles Borne) in the first round[15] and Latino World Order (Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro) and The O.C. (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) in a triple threat tag team match in the final[16] to face NXT Tag Team Champions The Wolf Dogs (Baron Corbin and Bron Breakker) for the titles at NXT Stand & Deliver but failed to win the match.[17] In a rematch on the following episode of NXT, Frazer and Axiom defeated The Wolf Dogs to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions. After the match, The Final Testament's Authors of Pain returned to NXT and attacked Frazer and Axiom.[18]
Personal life
On 19 April 2023, Timms became a born-again Christian, announcing he had been baptized. He is dating fellow NXT superstar Thea Hail.[19]
