Here is my reasoning for why the Nightcrawler of Earth-12928 was meant to be Darkholme and not Wagner, and you are free to disagree if you give reason as to why.

It has to do with when the comic came out, and the status of the mainstream Nightcrawler. It had been 2 years since the death of him, and he had at that point been established to stay dead (until the current Amazing X-Men was announced). I highly doubt that Remender at that point point foresaw the return of Nightcrawler a year later.

You almost have to see the reality as a "What If? Wolverine didn't kill Daken", which this reality was a divergent off.
