According to several fans in attendance for the WWE St. Louis live event this past Tuesday night, Curtis Axel brought back his “Axelmania” gimmick which became popular with fans following its debut after the 2015 Royal Rumble.

The gimmick was later dropped when WWE began to distance itself from Hulk Hogan following the controversy surrounding Hogan’s racist remarks.

At the St. Louis live event, Axel teamed with GoldenTruth, Sin Cara and Darren Young to defeat the team of The Shining Stars, Bo Dallas, Titus O’Neil and Jinder Mahal. Below is a photo of Axel resurrecting the “Axelmania” gimmick as well as comments from fans:
