Former NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion Noam Dar is one of the most popular stars in WWE. He has been with the Stamford-based promotion for almost a decade now. Recently, during an interview with Kenny McIntosh of Inside The Ropes, Noam Dar reflected on his WWE debut. His first match was at the initial WWE Cruiserweight Classic.
During the interview, Dar mentioned that WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg explained how his entrance was going to be and mentioned that he would have pyro too. Dar did not believe what Road Dogg said and though he was just pulling his leg.
“One of the funny things that happened during the day if you remember they gave me pyro, which is the one and only time I’ve had pyro, but at the time WWE was hardly using it. When we were doing rehearsals I was standing on the stage just kind of thinking about what’s happening and Road Dogg was like, ‘Okay, now your music hits, and after about 15 seconds stand here brother, and then the pyro is gonna go off everybody’s gonna lose their minds!’
“I was like, sure, very funny, just thinking that he was ribbing me and just playing a little joke on me because he is a jokester and we had known each other for quite a long time at that point. I thought he was just hamming me up. So when I came out, that pyro, I didn’t expect it to happen.”
Noam Dar’s WWE debut changed everything for him
Dar was surprised to see the pyro go off during his entrance. He also mentioned that his debut in WWE changed everything for him.
“I thought it was just a rib, and that definitely got me out of my socks a bit. But I was like, Oh, this is real, I am a real WWE wrestler now, I have pyro. So the whole day was just very surreal, then once it was done, like I said, to then have the same practices of okay, just finish the show in Scotland okay, now just go home and everything’s the same. But not really, because that changed everything for me,” Noam Dar said.
Dar now has his eyes set on the NXT World Championship.
