Noam Dar has returned to the ring after nearly a year away from competition, making his comeback at an NXT live event on Friday night.
Dar defeated Jackson Drake in singles action at the April 24 NXT live event in Dade City, Florida, marking his first in-ring appearance since June 13, 2025. The return comes after a difficult stretch that saw him forced to relinquish the NXT UK Heritage Cup in June 2025 due to injury, just two months after coming back from a previous injury. The back-to-back setbacks kept him out of action for nearly 12 months.
Dar began his WWE career in NXT UK before transitioning to the main NXT brand, where he became one of the roster’s more recognizable performers as the leader of the Meta-Four faction. He had also been featured as part of the WWE Speed concept before his 2024 injury.
No official announcement has been made regarding Dar’s return to NXT television programming, but his live event appearance signals that he is healthy and working his way back toward a full-time schedule. NXT live events have historically served as a proving ground for returning talent to shake off ring rust before making their way back to the televised product.
