The former NXT star sprinted out to help Liv Morgan fight off Damage CTRL following Liv's brave babyface decision to take the fight to Bayley, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky three-on-one. Fans in Buffalo, New York seemed pleasantly surprised to see Tegan back in action.

Nox was released by the company in November 2021. She'd had serious injury issues over the years, but was never really given a fair shot on WWE's main roster - in fact, Tegan's only real role on Raw or SmackDown was in a listless babyface tag-team alongside Shotzi.

Triple H will hopefully put things right during the final month of 2022 and well into 2023.

Vince McMahon had previously experimented with knocking off her character's first name and calling Tegan "Nox", but Hunter has changed that. Now, she's going by the full Tegan Nox name again. Fans on social media are already eager to see what the Brit can achieve under Triple H's watch.

In the short-term, it looks like she'll form an alliance with Liv and possibly go after the Women's Tag-Team Titles.
