The June 3rd edition of NXT brought a full-on rollercoaster of action, emotion, and shocking moments, blending fresh faces, grudge matches, and even a TNA World Championship defense that rocked the Performance Center. Here’s what went down:
Darkstate Dominates in Six-Man Tag
Opening the night, the fearsome trio of Cutler James, Dion Lennox, and Osiris Griffin—collectively known as Darkstate—took control early and didn’t let up. They handed Chase U (Andre Chase, Kale Dixon, and Uriah Connors) a bitter loss, outsmarting and outmuscling them at every turn. The vibe? All business and no mercy.
Borne Breaks Free from No Quarter Catch Crew
The stakes were heavy in the night’s Rounds Match, where Myles Borne fought for his freedom from the No Quarter Catch Crew. It went down to the wire, with Borne clinching the final fall and escaping the group’s grip. The third round turned brutal, but Borne’s grit and timing were razor-sharp. He’s now a man on his own path.
Tyra Mae Steele Proves She’s More Than Just a TV Winner
Fresh off her WWE LFG Season 1 victory, Tyra Mae Steele didn’t waste any time proving she belongs. She took on Arianna Grace and walked out with her hand raised after a hard-fought, confident debut. The performance had fans buzzing—this wasn’t just a showcase; it was a statement.
Jacy Jayne’s Championship Address Spirals Into Chaos
When Jacy Jayne took the mic to celebrate her NXT Women’s Title reign, the segment quickly unraveled. Verbal jabs turned to physical blows as challengers came out swinging—but the real shock came when Mariah May made her surprise NXT debut. She didn’t say much, but her presence said everything: eyes on the gold.
Eight-Man Mayhem Ends with Dragon Lee and Friends Victorious
If you blinked, you missed something in this lightning-paced eight-man tag. Dragon Lee, Je’Von Evans, Laredo Kid, and Sean Legacy meshed seamlessly and flew circles around Ethan Page and his squad—The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor, Jackson Drake, & Ricky Smokes). Team chemistry and high-octane offense won the night.
TNA World Championship Headlines NXT – Trick Williams Shines
In a rare inter-promotional clash, Trick Williams stepped up to challenge Mike Santana for the TNA World Title—and delivered. Trick’s evolution into a top-tier main-eventer hit another milestone as he dropped Santana with his signature finesse. NXT ended with gold in the ring, a roaring crowd, and a champion who just keeps getting better.
Final Thoughts
From faction warfare to major cross-brand stakes, this week’s NXT packed more story than a monthly special. Whether it’s Tyra Mae’s launch, Trick’s title triumph, or the unexpected arrival of Mariah May, June 3rd was a night fans won’t forget anytime soon.
