Tuesday’s taped WWE NXT Gold Rush Week 2 show also featured Charlie Dempsey making a surprise return.

Near the end of the WWE EVOLVE Women’s Championship match between Lainey Reid and Kendal Grey, Fatal Influence’s Fallon Henley and Jacy Jayne ran out to distract the referee on the apron. This led to Wren Sinclair getting on the apron and laying out Henley. Jayne then charged into the ring and attempted to hit Grey while she was distracted only for Grey to get out of the way and Jayne struck Sinclair instead sending her flying off the apron. This led to Dempsey making a surprise appearance and caught Sinclair. Sinclair and Dempsey’s brief reunion moment was interrupted by the referee who tossed everyone from ringside as a result of what just happened.

This was Dempsey’s first appearance in NXT since this past September.
