NXT Star Makes In-Ring Return After 10-Month Injury Absence

TLDR

NXT star Noam Dar made his in-ring return on April 24, 2026 at a WWE NXT live event in Dade City, Florida, defeating Jackson Drake of the Vanity Project after a 10-month injury absence. Dar had been sidelined since June 2025 and was forced to relinquish the NXT Heritage Cup due to injury, with NXT General Manager Ava confirming his departure at the time. This marked Dar's first match in nearly a year, following a previous injury layoff that kept him out from May 2024 to April 2025.
