My Official Thoughts on the June 23rd Episode of WWE NXT:

My Official Thoughts: Decent go-home show before The Great American Bash Event. I do believe that the two World Title Matches are going to be very good this Sunday. The way they built the final pieces for the builds was fine, and we saw a great segment by Saquon Shugars as he showed everyone why he is one of the crucial pieces of the future of NXT, and The Culling is no more.

My Official Match Ratings for the June 23rd WWE NXT Episode:

The Opening Match: Aaron Rourke (c) vs. Tristan Angels in a WWE EVOLVE Title Match | The Match Rating: **.50 — Very happy to see Aaron Rourke on NXT, someone who I expect going to do well in NXT once he's done with EVOLVE but this match was very basic, and not anything special you have something in Tristan Angels he can be a NXT World Champion in my eyes, but he has to focus on Shiloh Hill as this Sunday he'll fight Shiloh Hill in a Singles Match at WWE NXT Great American Bash.

The 2nd Match: Hank And Tank (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger) (with Matt Matthews) vs. BirthRight (Channing Lorenzo & Uriah Connors) (with Arianna Grace, Charlie Dempsey & Lexis King) in a Tag Team Match | The Match Rating: ***.25 — I think Hank And Tank are a team that need to make the Main Roster they would help SmackDown a lot, but this match was cool. BirthRight was a team I thought was going to be good, but the booking for them has been very confusing. They have been on the receiving end of losses in a lot of matches. But this match was good to me, and a good win for Hank and Tank.

The 3rd Match: EK Prosper vs. Keanu Carver in a Singles Match | The Match Rating: *** — I was genuinely shocked, but happy because EK Prosper is someone who has been on my list of wrestlers in NXT. I sense that he’ll thrive, and he did something that a few did, and that's beating Keanu Carver, who has been a monster in NXT, and booked to be someone who will eventually be a champion in NXT, but this was a fun match. Very happy for EK Prosper.

The 4th Match: Arianna Grcae (with Channing Lorenzo, Charlie Dempsey, Lexis King & Uriah Connors) vs. Izzi Dame (with Niko Vance & Shawn Spears) in a WWE Women’s Speed Title No. 1 Contender’s Match | The Match Rating: N/A — Arianna Grace got the win over Izzi Dame as now she will be heading to WWE NXT Great American Bash as she’ll be fighting Wren Sinclair for the WWE Women’s Speed Title, as this could be a very good match.

The Main Event Match: Dorian Van Dux & Sean Legacy vs. The Culling (Niko Vance & Shawn Spears) (with Izzi Dame) in a Tag Team Match | The Match Rating: ***.50 — This was a lot of fun. The tag team of Dorian Van Dux & Sean Legacy has been cool to see. I can't lie, I would love to see them chasing after the WWE NXT Tag Team Titles. The Culling has officially disbanded after losing. We saw what we all knew was going to happen for some time as Shawn Spears got kicked out of The Culling, which makes that the end of the stable, I would assume.

My Official Match of the Night for the June 23rd Episode of WWE NXT: Dorian Van Dux & Sean Legacy vs. The Culling (Niko Vance & Shawn Spears) (with Izzi Dame) in a Tag Team Match | The Match Rating: ***.50 — This was a lot of fun. Dorian Van Dux and Sean Legacy have been a really entertaining tag team to watch, and I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing them pursue the WWE NXT Tag Team Titles. The Culling officially fell apart after the loss, which felt like something we all saw coming for a while. Shawn Spears getting kicked out was the clear sign that the stable had reached its end, or at least that’s how it seems to me.

My June 23rd Official Episode Grade for WWE NXT: 5.50/10 (C) — Decent go-home show before The Great American Bash. The two World Title matches should be very good this Sunday. The final build was solid, Saquon Shugars had a great segment, and The Culling is no more.
