- Brooks Jensen wurde bei NXT am 03.06.2025 aus der Gruppe geworfen - Paxley verließ im November 2025 die Gruppe - Shawn Spears wurde bei NXT am 23.06.2026 aus der Gruppe geworfen
[2.0] "This faction is literally on verge of being dead. I thought it was decent when Shawn and Tatum were part of the faction. But now, they are gone. Tatum elevated to become a main roster star, Shawn Spears got kicked out, and probably retiring anytime soon. While, Izzi Dame is slowly accomplishing herself in NXT, and Niko Vance literally has no future at the moment"
[5.0] "I understand that this faction is a bit flat and has nothing to make an standpoint. "We are dark and evil" ahhh team. Niko is developing his personality and moves as a powerhouse, and Izzy made herself a star in the program."
[5.0] "The Culling is a bit of a faction that's just there with some of the most boring performers on the NXT brand. We have Shawn Spears at 44 on NXT putting on supbar performances, matches and stories. Izzi Dame is one of the most lifeless women's wrestlers on NXT, Niko Vance might as well be a piece of paper on a fridge because he's just there to take the pin and Tatum Paxley is carrying this. Things seemed to have gotten better. [**.5]"
[5.0] "It's not that bad at all shawn is a good wrestler and niko is decent Izzi and tatum are really great together tatum really helped them to get better week after week"
[9.0] "When The Culling first started I actually was a fan of it, but sense Izzy Dame has taken a more leadership role I've enjoyed it more. The promos come across differently then any others you'll see on WWE weekly program but in a good way. I can honestly say I have enjoyed them the most on the majority of recent NXT shows. I will say Shawn Spears is a good hand but Damn and Vance still need polishing none standout as remarkable in the ring."
[4.0] "A bad faction. I apreciate the intention of Shawn Spears of making a name of the young talent, but Izzy isn't just working for me, althought she had a 1 on 1 match for the North American Championship on PLE. Tatum Paxley has been for a very short time in the group to say if she addapted herself correctly to the idea of the stable (I guess she will do it), and Niko Vance stands out a little bit, but they aren't remarkable enough to make look this faction as something interesting."
[3.0] "I feel like The Culling are slightly underrated here, not that they're anything particularly exciting. I like Shawn Spears in this role as guidance towards some younger wrestlers - he's crafty on the mic and I imagine leading the stable meshes well with his backstage roles. Niko and Brooks are dogwater wrestlers that feel like they're on borrowed time but Izzi Dame and more recently Tatum Paxley have made for a fun twist. Maybe merge them with Darkstate and cut some chaff from both groups."
[0.0] "This group isn't good. All three prospects don't have any substance or value. Shawn Spears is probably going to try to make these prospects seem something, but after a couple of months, they haven't shown anything. Brooks Jensen is more of a tag team guy shouldn't have left Josh Briggs. Izzi Dame might be something, and Niko Vance needs to see more. But this group is getting that big push, and no one seems to care about them."
[0.0] "When you combine a career jobber with 3 other jobbers on the developmental brand, you get this. A hopeless faction with a goofy name and yet another attempt to be spoopy and CWAYZZZEEE. Isn't that fun?"
