Zoey Stark is back.
In recent weeks, QR codes have aired on WWE NXT 2.0, seemingly hyping the arrival of someone. On the July 19 episode, a new QR code revealed that the mystery would be solved in the main event, as it showed someone walking and said, “Up next.” In the final match of the night, 20 women competed in a battle royal where the winner would earn the right to challenge NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose.
One of the final entrants was Zoey Stark, as she charged to the ring. This appearance marked her first time on NXT 2.0 since November, as she has been sidelined with a torn MCL/meniscus.

Jade ran away from ringside shortly after the match began. She snuck back in after Stark tossed Stratton out of the ring, but the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion eliminated her to clinch the victory. As a result, she earned the right to challenge Mandy Rose for the NXT Women’s Championship.
