Over the years fans have seen a lot of Superstars come and go, but you never know when a familiar face might show up at a WWE event. According to PWInsider former WWE Superstar Curtis Axel was backstage at the SmackDown tapings in Minneapolis on Friday night.

Curtis Axel is from Minneapolis but it’s not clear if he was just backstage visiting friends or if there was another reason for his visit.
