The wildest faction in NXT is heading to Slami Bali, where, for the first time on television, all four members of Dark State will fight together in the ring. Cutler James, Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, and Saquon Schugers will team up against JDC, Brian Myers, and Eddie Edwards, representing TNA’s system. This intense matchup stems from the July 17 episode’s shocking moment when Dark State blindsided all four members of the TNA system.
Since its formation earlier this year, Dark State has been making waves, but this will only be their second match as a full unit. Their debut as a complete team was at the WWE NXT live event in Gainesville, Florida on April 5th, where they defeated Drake Moray, Draconox, Javier Bernal, and Uria Connors.
On the other side, Cardona and Myers share a history as former WWE Tag Team Champions, but recent TNA storylines have placed them against the system. During the July 17 show, the system came to life when Dark State launched a surprise attack, setting up this explosive 4-on-4 showdown.
All eight competitors are set to collide at Slami Bali, with rivalries, ego clashes, and alliances all fueling the tension. The question remains: Will Dark State take control of TNA, or will Cardona and the system crush their ambitions once and for all?

Fan Take: This historic 4-on-4 tag match marks a pivotal moment for WWE fans, as it showcases the rising dominance of Dark State and their potential to shake up the TNA landscape. The outcome could redefine alliances and power dynamics within the sport, making this a must-watch event for wrestling enthusiasts.
