Add as a preferred source on Google Noam Dar finally returned to action in a televised WWE match on this Tuesday’s episode of NXT, held at the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida.
The former NXT Heritage Cup Champion faced Jackson Drake, a member of Vanity Project, in his first TV match since June 2025.
Dar started the match strong, looking to control Drake on the mat and going for an ankle lock early on. Later, the Scottish star hit a German Suplex, a Northern Lights Suplex, and locked in an armbar on his opponent.
However, as expected, the presence of Brad Baylor, Ricky Smokes, and Myka Lockwood around the ring made all the difference. Lockwood held Dar on the outside long enough for Drake to land a decisive strike and then finish things off with his 450 Splash.
It’s worth noting that Dar had already returned to in-ring action on April 24 at an NXT live event in Dade City, where he defeated Drake. Before that, he had been out since June 2025, when he was forced to vacate the NXT Heritage Cup due to injury.
