Zachary Wentz, formerly known as Nash Carter, is set to compete on tonight’s episode of WWE NXT. This marks a monumental moment for the wrestler, who two years prior had been controversially let go by the company.
In 2022, Wentz, then going by Nash Carter, was dismissed following allegations of him abusing his former wife, Kimber Lee. Despite WWE not finding Lee’s accusations credible, the company severed ties with Wentz after Lee publicized a photo of Wentz mimicking Hitler, a renowned Nazi figure.
Tonight, Wentz, now competing under his real name, is using his Twitter platform to communicate the profundity of his return to WWE NXT, an opportunity he has gained thanks to the ongoing tension between TNA and WWE NXT.
This is it.💚
Four years since The Rascalz last teamed.
Over Two Years since I last wrestled on NXT.
Tonight means everything to me.
Tune in at 8PM EST on @USANetwork and watch why we are one of the best trios teams in the world! pic.twitter.com/dhldXDXVtb— Zachary Wentz (@ZacharyWentz) July 16, 2024
Wentz and his fellow team member Trey Miguel showed up on WWE NXT’s last week airing, where they convinced Wes Lee to stick with the gold brand despite his defeat to Oba Femi at Heatwave.
The Rascalz, including Wentz, will be facing off against Gallus on tonight’s WWE NXT programming. The match-up was organized after a backstage interaction between both sides during last week’s show. Fans can relive The Rascalz reunion in the highlights from July 9, 2024, episode.
