Darkstate to make in-ring debut on next WWE NXT
The mysterious group running roughshod over WWE NXT will make their in-ring debut as a unit on next week’s episode.
WWE revealed during Tuesday’s NXT show that the Darkstate group is comprised of Cutler James, Dion Lennox, Saquon Shugars, and Osiris Griffin in a backstage segment with the Tony D’Angleo Family:
Later in Tuesday’s program, the Darkstate foursome attacked the NXT Champion Oba Femi and his Stand & Deliver challengers Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans in the ring. As a result, general manager Ava announced that three members of Darkstate will take on Femi, Williams, and Evans in a trios bout on next Tuesday’s WWE NXT.
Also set for next week, we may learn the challenger for Stephanie Vaquer’s NXT Women’s Championship at Stand & Deliver.
Vaquer vacated the Women’s North American Championship on this week’s episode, agreeing to relinquish the title if Ava allowed her to choose her challenger for Stand & Deliver. Jordynne Grace and Jaida Parker entered for an in-ring confrontation with Vaquer, then brawled backstage later in the program. Grace and Parker will go one-on-one next week, with the winner likely to challenge Vaquer for the Women’s Championship at Stand & Deliver.
The lineup for the Tuesday, April 8 WWE NXT:
- Three members of Darkstate vs. Oba Femi, Trick Williams & Je’Von Evans
- Jordynne Grace vs. Jaida Parker
