On this week’s WWE NXT, the topic
“Brooks Jensen kicked out of The Culling on NXT”
dominated the discussion as a dramatic chair attack unfolded, leaving both fans and fellow performers in shock at the sudden shift within the group‘s ranks. During a night full of surprises and key matches, several notable names including Brooks Jensen, Izzi Dame, Shawn Spears, and Niko Vance took center stage in a sequence that reshaped the faction’s direction on live television.
Brooks Jensen’s Unexpected Ouster from The Culling
Brooks Jensen entered the NXT arena believing he was set for action, but his anticipation quickly turned to alarm when Izzi Dame attacked him with a steel chair. Seemingly orchestrated with the approval of Shawn Spears and Niko Vance, Dame’s decisive move made it evident that Jensen was no longer a member of The Culling. Her explanation pointed to what she described as Jensen’s lack of total commitment to the group, leaving little doubt about her intentions or the message sent to the rest of their allies.
In addition to Jensen’s expulsion, Dame revealed that an upcoming match was being rescheduled. The new contest would now occur on June 10 as a tag team bout between Spears and Vance, a notable change that shifts the group‘s strategy and dynamics heading into next week’s programming.
Myles Borne Breaks Free From No Quarter Catch Crew
This week’s NXT was filled with faction changes and individual pursuits. Myles Borne, fresh from his NXT World Championship attempt against Oba Femi at Battleground 2025, faced rising tension with his No Quarter Catch Crew teammates—Charlie Dempsey, Tavion Heights, and Wren Sinclair. In a pivotal backstage confrontation, Dempsey pushed Borne to fall back in line with the crew. However, Borne, energized by his recent solo performance, declared that he could not return to his old supporting role after tasting what singles competition offered.
Their disagreement led to a high-stakes Rounds match where Borne would win his freedom from the group if victorious. Borne took the lead after round one, Dempsey evened the score in the following round, but ultimately, Borne secured the final fall. Demonstrating sportsmanship, Borne extended his hand to Dempsey post-match, a gesture Dempsey refused, signaling unresolved tension within the former teammates.
Fan Support for R-Truth Echoes in WWE NXT
The Tulsa, Oklahoma crowd on WWE RAW set a tone of support for R-Truth, following the announcement that his contract would not be renewed by WWE. The outpouring of appreciation was felt both at the arena and across social media platforms. The energy carried over into NXT, where chants of “We Want Truth” and “What’s Up” resonated during a six-man tag team match between Chase University—consisting of Andre Chase, Uriah Connors, and Kale Dixon—and DarkState, featuring Cutler James, Osiris Griffin, and Dion Lennox. This vocal recognition underscored R-Truth’s deep connection with both the audience and the wrestling community during a pivotal moment in his career.
Tyra Mae Steele’s Official WWE NXT In-Ring Debut
Tyra Mae Steele, an Olympic Gold medalist and co-winner of WWE LFG Season One, marked her WWE NXT in-ring debut by defeating Arianne Grace after a heated backstage interaction. Steele continues to develop her reputation following her initial WWE appearance in 2024, and this latest victory cements her presence within the NXT women’s division. Grace, who recently teamed with her father Santino Marella on TNA iMPACT but fell short against Robert Stone and Victoria Crawford, now faces a setback, while Steele’s momentum builds among her peers.
AAA Stars Make Their Presence Felt Ahead of Worlds Collide
With the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event scheduled for June 7, several AAA stars appeared on the June 3 episode of NXT to build anticipation. El Hijo del Vikingo, the new AAA Mega Champion who recently earned his title from Alberto Del Rio, led a group of international talent making waves on the show. An eight-man tag team match featured NXT standouts Je’Von Evans, Dragon Lee, Laredo Kid, and Sean Legacy battling North American Champion Ethan Page and the Vanity Project trio—Brad Baylor, Jackson Drake, and Ricky Smokes.
Before the match got underway, the broadcast spotlighted Octagón Jr., Aero Star, and Mr. Iguana at ringside, all of whom are set to join forces against Dragon Lee, Lince Dorado, and Cruz Del Toro at Worlds Collide. The cross-promotional appearances signal WWE’s commitment to expanding its international storylines, adding intrigue to both current and upcoming matches.

The expulsion of Brooks Jensen from The Culling, Myles Borne’s emancipation from No Quarter Catch Crew, and Tyra Mae Steele’s promising debut all introduce new narratives throughout WWE NXT. As Jensen copes with his sudden removal and The Culling reformulates its lineup, all eyes will be on upcoming matchups, especially the tag team clash set for June 10. Meanwhile, shifts among alliances and new talents, such as Tyra Mae Steele, will shape the competitive landscape as the Worlds Collide event brings fresh stars and international stakes to the NXT ring.
