Spears is back in NXT.
Dating back to NXT Vengeance Day, the ‘three faces’ vignettes have been airing across NXT programming. The individual behind those vignettes was revealed to be Shawn Spears.
Ridge Holland took to the ring to apologize for his past actions and as he was speaking, the lights went out and then the wording from the vignettes were shown across the venue. A spotlight was put on the individual behind Holland and then Spears took a chair to the back of Holland.
Commentary referred to him as Shawn Spears and not by the Tye Dillinger name he went back during his last run.
Since 2019, Spears had been with All Elite Wrestling. In late 2023, he wrapped up with the company.
In February of 2019, Spears requested his release from WWE which put an end to a six-year run.
