MTB Wheel stuck / stiff

I've a 15mm thru axle in a DT Swiss wheel and the wheel doesn't spin. I've loosened the brake calliper - to eliminate them rubbing - I've also greased the thru-axle but the wheel doesn't spin.
If I loosen the lever then the wheel spins...it only seems to be when it is fully tightened.
Bearings were serviced in the last month too....
Any ideas?

    It's literally the least amount of resistance on the lever to get it tightened. Wheel stops spinning right away

    You haven't lost an end cap, have you?
