Cutler James Reunites With DarkState at Stand & Deliver 2026; Saquon Shugars Calls Out Dion Lennox For His Actions

Cutler James reunited with DarkState at tonight’s NXT Stand & Deliver Premium Live Event.

At tonight’s PLE, DarkState’s Dion Lennox ambushed Myles Borne after Borne retained the NXT North American Title against Johnny Gargano.

Later at the event, Cutler James appeared with the rest of the DarkState in a backstage segment. James has not been seen with the faction on weekly programming since being taken out by Tony D’Angelo two months ago.

During the segment, Saquon Shugars called out Dion Lennox for not keeping his stablemates in the loop before going out and attacking Myles Borne. Shugars accused Lennox of looking out for himself and reminded him that the rest of the group is currently “starving.” He also added that DarkState didn’t come all the way to St. Louis to watch him.

Dion accepted that he should have informed the group beforehand and then claimed that he has a plan that will put the spotlight on DarkState, adding that he plans to unveil it on the April 7, 2026, episode of WWE NXT.
