On the June 23 episode of WWE NXT, Shawn Spears was forcefully removed from The Culling. His distraction during Izzi Dame's match led to Dame's loss to Arianna Grace, who will now compete for the WWE Women's Speed Championship. Spears' later refusal to tag in during a tag team match resulted in a significant defeat, culminating in a chokeslam through the announce desk by Niko Vance, indicating his ejection from the faction. This is the second instance of The Culling turning on a member, following the expulsion of Tatum Paxley last November.
