Supernova 11 outsmarts Lexis King to become four-time Heritage Cup Champion
Summary
– Noam Dar defeats Lexis King to reclaim the NXT Heritage Cup
– Match marked Dar’s first in-ring action since May 2024
– Dar fakes Nova Roller to land spinning elbow for the win
Noam Dar made his shocking return to NXT on April 23 and instantly reclaimed his spot at the top of the Heritage Cup division, defeating Lexis King in a heated championship clash.
Dar, who had been sidelined for nearly a year after being attacked by Ethan Page, returned to a roaring reception at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Though noticeably not at peak ring shape, the former champ relied on precision strikes, timing, and his trademark ring IQ to keep King off balance throughout the match.
Lexis King entered confident, having done away with the traditional rounds format of the Heritage Cup. He struck Dar with cheap shots and aggressive offense, but Dar’s experience began to shift the tide. After absorbing a superkick and a brutal series of attacks, Dar rallied with stiff back fists and faked his finishing Nova Roller—only to deliver a crushing spinning elbow to score the pinfall.
The victory makes Noam Dar a four-time Heritage Cup Champion and cements his return to the NXT spotlight. With momentum back on his side, the Supernova may be aiming for more than just the Cup in the coming weeks.
