Meta-Four is a villainous professional wrestling stable that performs in WWE on the NXT brand. The stable is led by Scottish-Israeli Noam Dar and includes Swiss Oro Mensah and Americans Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend. Dar has the most reigns with the NXT Heritage Cup with a record-setting three reigns. His third reign was won as part of The Meta-Four while setting the record for the most successful defences.

History[edit]

At NXT Battleground on May 28, 2023, Noam Dar defeated Dragon Lee to retain the NXT Heritage Cup with assistance from Jakara Jackson, Lash Legend and Oro Mensah.[1] On the June 6 episode of NXT during a backstage segment, Dar accepted Nathan Frazer's challenge to a match for the NXT Heritage Cup and introduced the group as The Meta-Four.[2] On the June 13 episode of NXT, Dar was set to defend his title against Frazer until it was revealed that he had a knee injury. Mensah took Dar's place in the match but lost to Frazer after Valentina Feroz and Yulisa León thwarted Jackson and Legend's attempts to interfere. A match between the two teams would be scheduled for NXT: Gold Rush the following week, in which Jackson and Legend defeat Feroz and León. At NXT: Heatwave on August 22, Dar defeated Frazer to win the NXT Heritage Cup for a record-setting third time. At NXT: Halloween Havoc Night 1, Akira Tozawa returned to NXT and stole the NXT Heritage Cup under The Meta-Four's noses. Tozawa returned the Cup to Dar on Night 2 before managing to spook Dar into a match for the Cup on the following week's NXT, with Dar winning the match 2-1.[3][4][5]

On the February 20, 2024 episode of NXT, Legend faced Lyra Valkyria for the NXT Women's Championship in an open challenge after Valkyria's initial opponent, Shotzi, suffered a torn ACL halfway through their title match. However, Legend failed to defeat Valkyria for the title.[6] On the February 27 episode of NXT, Dar lost the NXT Heritage Cup to Charlie Dempsey after interference from Dempsey's No Quarter Catch Crew stablemates Drew Gulak, Damon Kemp and Myles Borne, losing the match 2-1 and ending Dar's third reign at 189 days.[7] On March 26, it was announced that The Meta-Four will be the host of NXT Stand & Deliver.[8] At the event, NXT general manager Ava announced the newly created NXT Women's North American Championship,[9] and Legend went through as one of the top 12 participants from the preliminary combine to compete for a spot in the six-woman ladder match to crown the inaugural champion at NXT Battleground.[10] Around this time, Dar started a rivalry with new NXT Champion Trick Williams. During a Supernova Sessions on the May 7 episode of NXT, Dar said that in a match between them where Williams won, Dar's leg was under the ropes which should have broken the pinfall and called Williams a fraud. Dar proceeded to attack Williams shortly after Legend revealed that she was having an affair with Williams.[11] On the May 14 episode of NXT, Dar was found attacked by an unknown assailant. Later that night, Legend defeated Diamond Mine's Ivy Nile from Raw to qualify for a spot at NXT Battleground whereas Mensah was defeated by Je'Von Evans after Williams interfered and stopped Legend from giving a steel char to Mensah.[12]
