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.

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.
