Former Champion Makes WWE Return After Nearly A Year Out (WWE News)
Noam Dar made his return to the ring during an NXT live event over the weekend.
Having been out of action since last June, Noam Dar made his long-awaited return to a WWE ring this weekend.
From X user Jeff Reid, Supernova 11 returned to action at Friday's NXT live event in Dade City, Florida, where he picked up a win over the Vanity Project's Jackson Drake.

For Noam Dar, this was a return to action for the first time since defeating Channing 'Stacks' Lorenzo at an NXT live event in June 2025. After that match, Dar was forced to vacate the Heritage Cup due to injury, which unfortunately came only two months after he'd returned from an 11-month lay-off for a leg injury.
Despite being only 32 years of age, Noam is a near-18-year veteran of the business, having made his in-ring debut back in 2008 at the age of just 15. After making a name for himself on the British independent scene and beyond - including WhatCulture Pro Wrestling - Dar landed in WWE in 2016, initially as part of the Cruiseweight Classic and then as part of the relaunched cruiserweight division. With the launch of NXT UK, it didn't take long for Noam to become a part of that brand, and he and the Heritage Cup would call 'main' NXT home in early 2023 after the closure of the UK arm.
That run in NXT saw Noam Dar as the de facto leader of the Meta-Four faction and become a record-setting four-time Heritage Cup Champion, though injuries have impacted the hugely talented star's progress in recent years. Here's hoping Noam finds himself back on NXT programming in the coming weeks.
