WWE NXT Results (November 7, 2023): Noam Dar vs. Akira Tozawa - Heritage Cup Match

Alpha Academy was there ringside to assist Tozawa, and Chad Gable was back on NXT after seven long years! Dar had the early advantage, but Tozawa got a big takedown before hitting a kick off the apron.

Tozawa headed outside and toward the cup for some reason before Dar chased after him and brought him back to the ring for a superplex as Round 1 came to a close.

Round 2 saw Dar getting a sudden pin off a roll-up and a cheap shot right after as we headed for Round 3 during the break. When we returned from commercials, Round 3 was almost over, and we headed for the fourth.

Dar got a near fall early in Round 4 before he was sent outside and took a big dive. Tozawa got the Ankle Lock, and Dar tapped out, making the score 1-1. The commentators reminded us that Tozawa has won 17 titles in the WWE, referring to the 16 24/7 Title reigns and the one Cruiserweight Title.

Round 5 had the challenger hit some big German Suplexes and the sping kick before Mensah and Lash interfered, dragging Dar out of the ring. Dar came in with his finisher off the distraction and picked up the win.

Result: Noam Dar def. Akira Tozawa to retain the Heritage Cup

Williams said that he always put their friendship first, but Melo didn't do the same when it came time to support him. He tried to ask Melo if he attacked him, but Melo kept changing the topic.

Trick said that he wanted to do his own thing, and Melo wasn't there to defend him when he got jumped. Trick noted that he didn't see who attacked him and asked Melo for the truth before Lexis King appeared.

King said he wanted to get to the bottom of it and hinted that he may have been the attacker. Trick went to punch him out but hit Melo instead as King ran off. Trick helped Melo back to his feet, but Hayes looked furious as they hugged, and NXT went off the air.
