Eddy Thorpe return official for WWE NXT
Eddy Thorpe returns to WWE NXT this week.
After a vignette featuring the former Karl Fredericks aired at NXT Battleground last night, WWE announced on Monday that Thorpe will officially return to the brand on Tuesday’s show.
Thorpe hasn’t wrestled on NXT since defeating Dijak in an NXT Underground match in December, which our own Dave Meltzer rated ****½. He reportedly suffered a hip injury in the bout and was sidelined for the early part of 2024. However, he’s been wrestling on house shows and episodes of Level Up since March.
