The return of WWE’s Dexter Lumis to social media has stirred excitement among fans, considering his prolonged hiatus from in-ring competition.
Lumis, known for his enigmatic persona, last graced the ring nearly nine months ago in a match against Akira Tozawa on the June 1, 2023, edition of Main Event, primarily working alongside Indi Hartwell during that time.
The recent buzz surrounding the Elimination Chamber premium live event has dominated discussions across social media platforms.
WWE referee Eddie Orengo contributed to the chatter by sharing multiple photos from his visit to Perth, expressing gratitude to the city in a recent Instagram post.
In an unexpected turn of events, the comments section of Orengo’s post witnessed a rare appearance by Dexter Lumis. Responding to his friend Orengo, Lumis left a cryptic one-word comment, simply stating, “Unbelievable.”
Notably, late in 2023, reports surfaced indicating that WWE’s creative team lacked concrete plans for Lumis. The 40-year-old, not reported to be injured, seemed to be absent from numerous TV tapings, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding his future within the company.

While away from WWE, Dexter Lumis found an alternate spotlight in the entertainment realm. He made a guest appearance on the popular TV show Tacoma FD during its fourth season.
Unfortunately, the comedy sitcom faced cancellation just two weeks ago. Lumis, portraying the character Dex, made his debut on August 10, 2023, in an episode titled “Who Gives A-Shift?”
Reflecting on Lumis’ recent activities, it’s intriguing to note that his last appearance on RAW dates back to the Battle Royal on May 15, 2023.
Before that, Lumis participated in non-televised and Main Event matches throughout 2023, including the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
His final standard main roster TV match featured him and Johnny Gargano against Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio on the March 13, 2023, edition of RAW.
Lumis’ mysterious “Unbelievable” comment has now heightened curiosity among fans, eager to uncover the secrets behind his extended absence and potential return to WWE action.
