He's Back: Surprise Return Takes Place At NXT Vengeance Day, Ending Eight Month Absence

Welcome back. There are all kinds of wrestlers on the WWE roster and some of them are around a lot more often than others. You never know when you might see someone going away and not coming back for a long time but it can be a big deal when they make their return. That was the situation this weekend, as a star was back for the first time in a very long while.

Dabba Kato, formerly known as Commander Azeez, made a surprise return to NXT television over the weekend at Vengeance Day, where he got involved in the match between Carmelo Hayes and Apollo Crews. After the match, Kato attacked Crews and left him laying. Kato has been missing since May 2022, when he wrestled on Main Event. He and Crews had been sent to NXT in June 2022, but Kato never appeared on television. There is no word on why he was missing.

He is quite the giant. Check out Kato, under the name Commander Azeez:

Opinion: There is always room in wrestling for a giant and that is what you have in Kato. It is interesting to see him back on television and now Crews has something to do going forward. I’m not sure where that is going to lead, but at least Kato is getting to do something after being away for the better part of a year. Maybe things can go a bit better for him this time around, which would be a nice improvement.
