Zachary Wentz comments on his NXT return.
On the July 9th episode of NXT, Zachary Wentz (Nash Carter in WWE) returned to NXT alongside Trey Miguel for a Rascalz reunion with Wes Lee (Dezmond Xavier in TNA).
Wentz & Lee were signed to WWE in December 2020 and debuted as MSK. Wentz was released by NXT in April 2022 following social media posts made by his estranged wife Kimber Lee, who alleged that Carter physically and emotionally abused her during their marriage. She also tweeted a photo of Carter seemingly mimicking Hitler.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Wentz commented on his return to NXT.
"There is nothing like the 'Welcome Back' chants. There is nothing like it. It's validation, especially being able to be Zachary Wentz, a name that I had on the indies and had to go through the grind. To be able to use that on WWE television is amazing. I was talking to Tommy (Dreamer) last night. The fans knowing our Rascalz wave. If you watch our entrance, so many people are doing the wave. Not that I never thought that would happen, but especially after the run and changing to MSK, I just didn't know if the Rascalz could ever make it to WWE TV as the Rascalz. It's a blessing. It's years of building this brand as The Rascalz. Me, Wes, Trey, and Myron (Reed). I couldn't be happier," he said.
Wentz, Trey, and Lee defeated Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, & Wolfgang) on Tuesday's NXT.
