Newly Returned WWE Star To Work As Player/Coach

A former WWE 24/7 Champion is working backstage.

Lince Dorado made a surprise return to WWE at an NXT live event in Florida on January 17th. At the event, Dorado defeated Josh Black.

Dorado hadn’t appeared for the company since being released back in 2021. The star made his WWE debut back in 2016 as part of the Cruiserweight Classic before forming part of the Cruiserweight division on Raw. He later joined forces with Gran Metalik and Kalisto to form the Lucha House Party.

While the team was popular with fans they never captured tag team gold and all three men were gone from the company by the end of 2021. Since leaving WWE, Dorado has wrestled for the likes of AEW, TNA, NJPW, and MLW.

Lince Dorado Takes Up Backstage WWE Role

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that Dorado had been brought in to work backstage as well as in the ring.

“So he debuted last night. I think Citrus Springs, Florida….he has been hired as a coach. So that’s the deal there. He’s going to work at the Performance Center, and I guess, you know, do some matches as well. So that’s the story.”

There’s no word on whether the star will return to television in some capacity.
