Finn Balor, Bianca Belair, Bobby Roode, Sami Zayn, and former General Manager William Regal have been announced for NXT Homecoming.

The news was announced on Tuesday via WWE NXT social media platforms, posting:

“THE EST @BiancaBelairWWE returns to #WWENXT TONIGHT for #NXTHomecoming!”

“One of the greatest #WWENXT Superstars of all time  @SamiZayn returns to Full Sail TONIGHT for #NXTHomecoming!”

“No messing around. @RealKingRegal heads to #WWENXT for #NXTHomecoming TONIGHT from Full Sail!”

and

“The Prince returns. @FinnBalor comes back to #WWENXT for #NXTHomecoming TONIGHT at Full Sail!”

Tuesday’s show at NXT’s former home will feature several former NXT wrestlers, including Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Tyler Breeze and Rhea Ripley.

Belair has not wrestled since WrestleMania due to a broken finger suffered in her match against IYO Sky and Rhea Ripley on the show.

Roode currently works as a WWE producer, a role he’s held since 2024. He hasn’t wrestled in over three years after undergoing two neck fusion surgeries, a C5/6 cervical fusion in November 2022 and a C4/5 fusion in May 2023. He said in an interview with Chris Van Vliet in 2024 that he is medically cleared to return, but is happy with his current role.
