Released NXT Superstar Oney Lorcan seemingly returns to WWE in new role

Oney Lorcan had quite the run with Triple H's NXT, and it appears he might be the latest talent on his way back to the company.

Since being released from his WWE contract last November, Lorcan has spent a good portion of 2022 on the independent scene for companies like Game Changer Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla. But a recent report suggests that Lorcan is doing something with WWE once again.

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Lorcan is at the WWE Performance Center this week serving as a guest coach for the company. It's unknown at this time whether this will lead to him returning to WWE full-time.

This will be Lorcan's first time back in the squared circle since July when he took to social media to reveal that he was taking time away from performing.

​

"If you have contacted me about bookings, I apologize if I haven't immediately gotten back to you," Lorcan wrote. "I've decided to take some time away from performing in the ring. Thank you.” [H/T: F4WOnline]
