If there’s one wrestler who knows a thing or two about tag team wrestling, it’s Big E. He spent years as a member of New Day and held the SmackDown tag titles six times and the Raw tag titles twice. With that much experience, he’s going to have a good eye for talent.

During Monday’s episode of WWE Now, the crew was discussing Montez Ford having a singles match against Seth Rollins. Big E said that although Ford is a vet to him, “he’s one of the most underrated Superstars on the roster. His level of athleticism is truly incredible. I know he’s been out for quite some time. I think kind of just on the shelf, him and Dawkins. Not due to injury or anything, those guys have just been sitting on the sidelines. It’s been really a breath of fresh air especially for the tag team division to have those two back.” He mentioned Dawkins taking a beating on “Raw” and if he’s on the shelf, maybe we see a makeshift tag team with Ford and Rollins. “I’m excited to see how the pairing goes with those two.”

Before their return last month, Street Profits hadn’t wrestled on “SmackDown” since October. They challenged The Vision for the World Tag Team Titles last weekend at Saturday Night’s Main Event in a losing effort.

This isn’t Jade’s first appearance in a recent winners/losers column — we made her a winner after Saturday Night’s Main Event, when she pinned Rhea Ripley. But even after losing to Ripley at Clash In Italy, it’s hard to see Cargill as anything but a winner. She defeated and took out Alexa Bliss on “SmackDown,” then proceeded to have what may have been the best match of her career against Ripley in Turin. And because of the way that match went down, she now has legitimate beef with Charlotte Flair, setting up a potential dream match that fans have been waiting for since Cargill first signed with WWE. And while their singles match is still a thing of the future, we don’t have to wait long for Cargill and Flair to get in the ring together — they’re set to be part of the same Queen of the Ring tournament four-way quarterfinal, meaning we’re very close to getting at least a taste of what Cargill vs. Flair could be.

That just winner’s stuff, right there. Cargill might not be WWE Women’s Champion, but she’s found a foil in Ripley that results in consistently excellent chemistry, and she could be about to find another one in Flair. Her position in the WWE hierarchy is rock-solid, and at this point the Jade Cargill experiment has to be considered a success.

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.’s live coverage for “WWE NXT” on June 2, 2026, coming to you live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida!

Tony D’Angelo will be putting the NXT Championship on the line on television for the first time since retaining against current “WWE Raw” star Ethan Page at Week One of the “NXT” Revenge special on April 14 as he defends against Kam Hendrix. Hendrix confronted D’Angelo during last Tuesday’s episode of “NXT” as Naraku was in the midst of assuring D’Angelo that he would protect him. When Hendrix looked to take out D’Angelo, Naraku lived up to his word by clotheslining D’Angelo out of the ring.

Lexis King will be putting the Speed Championship on the line for the first time since defeating EK Prosper to become titleholder at Week Two of the Revenge special on April 21 as he defends against Romeo Moreno. Moreno defeated Frazer in a First Round Match in a Speed Championship Number One Contenders Tournament last Tuesday, with another First Round Match in a Speed Championship Number One Contenders Tournament between Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux having ended in a no contest and caused neither man to advance.

Lizzy Rain will be back in action as she collides with Zaria. With Rain and her ally Women’s North American Champion Tatum Paxley having previously scored a win against Zaria and Nikkita Lyons on the May 12 episode of “NXT” after Zaria left Lyons alone in the ring, Zaria and Rain got into a brawl backstage last Tuesday as Shiloh Hill looked to get Zaria to sign his petition to become Mr. NXT.

North American Champion Myles Borne will be joining forces with Tavion Heights to go head-to-head with DarkState’s Osiris Griffin and Cutler James. DarkState blindsided Borne and Heights with an attack backstage last Tuesday as the former No Quarter Catch Crew stablemates were in the midst of a conversation wherein Borne expressed he thought Heights needed to slow down a little bit.
