The ending of WWE NXT on 19th May was one of the more shocking ones we have seen in a while. The superstar who got brutally kicked out of his faction was helped to the back.
To give you some context, the main event of NXT this week saw DarkState, known by some as the next Shield, go up against The Vanity Project’s Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes, with the Tag Team Titles being on the line. It was The Vanity Project who dethroned DarkState in the first place, which is why there was a clear chip on the shoulder for the group. Leader Dion Lennox and Shaquan Shugars represented the team, and it was a moment of miscommunication that led to The Vanity Project picking up the pin, with Shugars taking the pinfall. As a result, Shugars was kicked out of the DarkState faction, with Cutler James and Osiris Griffin starting the attack before Dion Lennox joined in.
After NXT went off the air, the social media page posted a video of Saquon Shugars getting helped to the back. He received a standing ovation from the crowd.
One has to wonder what the future of Saquon Shugars will be as a singles star. One also has to wonder why the decision was made to go ahead without him in DarkState.
Either way, one can expect a singles run from Shugars. The good news for him is that there is an opening in WWE NXT, with several of the top talent having departed for the main roster. As a result, superstars are vying to take those spots, and Mason Rook is perhaps the most notable name in the men’s division taking things by storm, while Lizzy Rain is doing something similar in the women’s division.
Overall, it’s an exciting time in WWE NXT filled with raw talent.
