JDC returned to NXT on February 11, stepping into the ring to challenge Lexis King for the NXT Heritage Cup Championship. The TNA star, formerly known as Fandango in WWE, received a warm reception from the crowd and put on a strong performance.

Despite JDC’s efforts, King proved why he holds the Heritage Cup, securing the win with his signature Coronation move. The bout also drew attention to the evolving relationship between WWE and TNA, as JDC’s appearance was part of their ongoing collaboration.

The title’s future remains uncertain, with King seemingly changing the Heritage Cup rules to traditional one-fall matches. Meanwhile, JDC’s return raises questions about whether more crossover appearances between WWE and TNA stars could be on the horizon.
