A superstar who recently made his WWE return has now taken up the producer role.

Earlier this year, Shawn Spears returned under the Triple H regime and appeared on NXT. He attacked Ridge Holland immediately upon returning and kicked off a feud with him.

What matches did Shawn Spears help produce on WWE NXT?

NXT featured a couple of female matches on the April 16 edition. Lola Vice picked up a win over Sol Ruca in just under three minutes and Tatum Paxley defeated Thea Hail in a three-minute bout.

Shawn Spears spoke with Fightful shortly after making his WWE return. He had the following to say about leaving AEW:

"It's very important to me. I am somebody who, for whatever anybody wants to say about me throughout the course of the 20-plus [year] career that I've been doing this, one thing that's going to be hard for them to say is that I have been unprofessional. I'm a very big believer that as a professional wrestler, that word professional is paramount, is key. It's almost more important to me than the second word that comes into play. It was amicable, absolutely." [H/T WrestlingInc]

Spears wrestled his first match after his return on the March 5, 2024 episode of NXT. That night, he defeated Uriah Connors. A week later, he defeated Ridge Holland. Spears went on to lose to Dijak and Joe Gacy in his next two outings.
