WWE NXT Spoilers – May 31st – June 21st, 2017

<p>WWE will tape the May 31st to June 21st episodes of NXT at Full Sail University tonight. Here are the results from the show:</p><p>* Dark match: Jeet Rama defeats Chris Silvio.</p><p><strong>May 31st</strong></p><p>* <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/tyler-bate" title="Tyler Bate">Tyler Bate</a></strong> defeats Steve Cutler.</p><p>* Ciampa comes out on crutches. The crowd is chanting, “Why Ciampa, why?” Ciampa invites Gargano out to the ring because he feels he owes him an explanation. Thursday before Takeover Ciampa sustained an injury, it didn’t matter, he was still going to fight. But the people were thinking up dream partners for Gargano, it took 24 hours for Ciampa to become an afterthought to the fans. When Ciampa realized they lost he knew he was injured & going away for a long time, when he looked across at John it became clear. That if Ciampa went away Gargano would replace him, Ciampa won’t become an afterthought, and in that moment he made his choice. It is the fans fault and it is Gargano’s fault that DIY is done, if Ciampa has to go away then Gargano had to go away too. Takeover: Chicago was supposed to be DIY’s moment, but it ended up being Ciampa’s moment. Ciampa is irreplaceable, Gargano is irreplaceable, the fans are replaceable. When Ciampa returns he will be the most dangerous man in professional wrestling and everyone is on notice.</p><p>* Pete Dunne defeats <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/danny-burch" title="Danny Burch">Danny Burch</a></strong>. After the match Dunne cuts a promo. He says since January he had to watch some boy carry what was rightfully his. History will remember that WWE UK began with the crowning of “The Bruiserweight” Pete Dunne.</p><p>* Cezar Bononi defeats Cien Almas with a small package.</p><p>* Kassius Ohno & <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/roderick-strong" title="Roderick Strong">Roderick Strong</a></strong> vs. Eric Young & Alexander Wolfe. No Way Jose made his return to assist Ohno & Strong in beating Sanity.</p><p>* Dana Warrior is here to honor a local Orlando teacher for her charity work. “Thank You, Ruby” chants.</p>

205 Live Continues to Perform Poorly

<p>205 Live continues to perform poorly on the WWE Network.</p><p>According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the show failed to rank in the top 20 <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/shows/" title="shows">shows</a></strong> on the Network this week. The show actually ranked behind a three-month old episode of Ride Along. Halloween Havoc back in 1998 got more <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/views/" title="views">views</a></strong> than 205 Live did.</p><p>This isn’t a first time occurrence either, as the show rarely ranks in the top 10 despite airing live on the WWE Network and being built up on RAW the previous night.</p>

Adam Cole’s WWE Status

<p>As seen on WWE programming lately, WWE has been <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/doing/" title="doing">doing</a></strong> a lot of multi-person matches.
