Noam Dar is back in the mix.

As the May 5th episode of WWE NXT on The CW was ongoing, cameras cut backstage to Romeo Moreno hanging out. Moreno is also known as Zozaya. Before joining WWE, he worked dates for Revolution Pro Wrestling, PROGRESS Wrestling, and wXw Germany.

Showing up in the area were Vanity Project (Jackson Drake, Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes). They started going back and forth with Moreno, and entering the picture was four-time NXT Heritage Cup holder Noam Dar.

At an NXT house show in late April, Dar returned to in-ring action. He had been out due to injury since June 2025.

Dar called out Jackson Drake for a singles match and shared that NXT General Manager Robert Stone had already made it official for May 12th.

The newest member of Vanity Project, Myka Lockwood a.k.a. Bayley Humphrey, showed up behind Dar to let him know she had Vanity Project’s back.
