Elio LeFleur returns to WWE NXT competition

WWE NXT wrestler Elio LeFleur has returned to in-ring action following a seven-month absence caused by a serious shoulder injury. The former Men’s Speed Champion competed in a dark match prior to the October 27 episode of NXT.

LeFleur’s injury occurred on March 20, 2026, during an eight-man tag team match at a live event in Lakeland, Florida. The injury, diagnosed as a torn labrum and ligament damage, required surgery in early April and forced him to relinquish his championship title on March 31.

While his recent return was not televised, officials have not yet announced a specific date for his official television appearance or his next scheduled opponent.
