History

At NXT Battleground on May 28, 2023, Noam Dar defeated Dragon Lee to retain the NXT Heritage Cup with assistance from Jakara Jackson, Lash Legend and Oro Mensah. [1] On the June 6 episode of NXT during a backstage segment, Dar accepted Nathan Frazer's challenge to a match for the NXT Heritage Cup and introduced the group as The Meta-Four. [2] On the June 13 episode of NXT, Dar was set to defend his title against Frazer until it was revealed that he had a knee injury. Mensah took Dar's place in the match but lost to Frazer after Valentina Feroz and Yulisa León thwarted Jackson and Legend's attempts to interfere. A match between the two teams would be scheduled for NXT Gold Rush the following week, in which Jackson and Legend defeat Feroz and León. At NXT: Heatwave on August 22, Dar defeated Frazer to win the NXT Heritage Cup for a record-setting third time. At NXT: Halloween Havoc Night 1, Akira Tozawa returned to NXT and stole the NXT Heritage Cup under The Meta-Four's noses. Tozawa returned the Cup to Dar on Night 2 before managing to spook Dar into a match for the Cup on the following week's NXT, with Dar winning the match 2-1. [3] [4] [5]

On the February 20, 2024 episode of NXT, Legend faced Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women's Championship in an open challenge after Valkyria's initial opponent, Shotzi, suffered a torn ACL halfway through their title match. However, Legend failed to defeat Valkyria for the title. [6] On the February 27 episode of NXT, Dar lost the NXT Heritage Cup to Charlie Dempsey after interference from Dempsey's No Quarter Catch Crew stablemates Drew Gulak, Damon Kemp and Myles Borne, losing the match 2-1 and ending Dar's third reign at 189 days.
