Spoilers From NXT Tapings Including Dusty Rhodes Tribute (June 18)

WWE taped four episodes of NXT at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida on Thursday. Here are some notes on what happened at the tapings. In a dark match, Uhaa Nation beat Johnny Gargano. They both used those names, so maybe Nation will keep that name after using it in the indies. Gargano tried out for WWE this past week and also works for Evolve/DGUSA, so this was likely a tryout match for him unless they already saw enough to sign him. There was a special tribute done for the late great Dusty Rhodes, who died last week. He was a coach for the NXT talent and was beloved by so many of them, so Triple H said a few words about how Dusty thought of the talent as his NXT kids while Hunter added that the fans are part of the NXT family. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKArzDfySmQ Week 1 airing June 24 Hideo Itami entered for a promo saying he'll be back in 3-4 months.
