Perspective
After losing multiple matches and feeling disrespected in late 2024 and early 2025, Lennox began to have a change of attitude on the January 21, 2025 episode of NXT after losing to Wes Lee.[1] He returned at NXT Vengeance Day on February 15 with James, Shugars, and Griffin,[2] attacking Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura and NXT Tag Team Champions Nathan Frazer and Axiom as well as NXT Champion Oba Femi after their respective matches, turning heel in the process.[3] The group made their second appearance at NXT: Roadblock on March 11, where they attacked Je'Von Evans after his match.[4] On the following week, the group's name was revealed as DarkState with Lennox revealed as their leader.[5] On the April 8 episode of NXT, Lennox, James and Shugars defeated Trick Williams, Evans and Femi in a six-man tag team match in their first match as a team.[6] At NXT Stand & Deliver on April 19, Lennox, Osiris and Shugars faced The D'Angelo Family (Tony D'Angelo, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, and Luca Crusifino), where DarkState won after Stacks turned on his team.[7]
On the July 3, 2025 episode of TNA Impact!, DarkState made their Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) debut where they attacked Matt Cardona.[8] At NXT Heatwave, Lennox and Griffin defeated Hank and Tank (Hank Walker and Tank Ledger) to win the NXT Tag Team Championship.[9][10]
