Every WWE Cruiserweight Classic Wrestler - Where Are They Now?
7. Noam Dar
Tournament result: Defeated in the quarterfinals by Zack Sabre, Jr.
What was he doing at the time?
Soaring without ever reaching the pinnacle.
A prominent freelancer across the British independents, Noam Dar wrestled as far north as Aberdeen and as far south as Prestatyn on the road to bagging a WWE contract in 2016, and he did so while receiving plentiful golden opportunities. Within 4 years of his debut - which he did at the tender age of 15 years old - Dar was working shows for Germany's wXw and Dragon Gate's UK branch, while AJ Styles, Jerry Lynn, and Eddie Edwards were some of the marquee names he stood opposite.
What is he doing now?
That isn't meant as an insult, but Noam hasn't done enough to warrant his continued employment with WWE when you consider the quality of talent that has been set loose. He was sent back to NXT shortly after the pandemic and the sunsetting of the disastrous NXT UK brand, and now resides in a thrown-together tag team with Romeo Moreno that hasn't gone anywhere for either participant.
Dar was at least the only person to benefit from WWE's partnership with external promotions, as his return to Scotland's Insane Championship Wrestling allowed him to capture the World Heavyweight Championship, even if he did have to vacate the strap without notching a single defence.
