Noam Dar Returns On WWE NXT, Set For First Match In 11 Months Next Week

WWE

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Noam Dar made his return on tonight’s WWE NXT show, with him returning to the ring next week.

Noam Dar has a very interesting WWE career spanning almost 10 years, with him first joining the company as part of the Cruiserweight Classic tournament in 2016, before joining the relaunched Crusierweight division.

Once the division came to an end, Dar moved to NXT UK, where he would become a multiple time Heritage Cup Champion before moving over to NXT full-time after the closure of NXT UK.

Dar would suffer an injury back in 2024 that would keep him out of action for almost a year, returning in a Heritage Cup match against Lexis King on the April 22, 2025 episode of NXT.

However, shortly after, Dar would suffer another injury and be forced to vacate the Heritage Cup, which would also keep him out of action for another 11 months.

Noam Dar Returns On WWE NXT

At recent WWE NXT live events, Noam Dar made his return to the ring from injury, and he has now made his return to television.

On tonight’s WWE NXT show, the Vanity Project approached Romeo Moreno backstage, where they antagonised the new star, before Noam Dar would appear, revealing that he had officially been cleared for a return.

Dar would then challenge Jackson Drake to a match next week to shake off his ring rust, which Drake accepted due to having Myka Lockwood in his corner.

New WWE NXT Tag Teams Forming?

With the main roster tag team divisions recently being heavily depleted following the releases of the New Day, Motor City Machine Guns, Wyatt Sicks and Tonga Loa and JC Mateo of the MFTs, we could see some teams from NXT soon fill the spots on the roster.

NXT’s tag team division is also currently on the weaker side, with only the Vanity Project, Hank & Tank and OTM currently in the division, as DarkState have started to have some tension between them.

There are also various combinations of the Birthright faction able to enter the division, as are Shawn Spears and Niko Vance of the Culling.

Of the newly debuted talents, and alliance had begun forming between Elio LeFleur and EK Prosper prior to LeFleur’s injury, with Sean Legacy now also forming an alliance with Prosper, as well as the teased new alliance between Dar and Romeo Moreno.
