In a surprising twist during the latest WWE NXT episode, Wes Lee, a rising star in the NXT roster, dropped a bombshell about his health. While holding an assistive walking device, Lee disclosed that he had encountered an injury that would necessitate surgery, forcing him into an indefinite hiatus from the ring. While specific details on the injury were not disclosed by Lee, PWInsider has reported that it is a back injury of some description.
Revealing this news to the audience, Lee emphasized that it wasn’t a final goodbye but a temporary hurdle. Despite the setback, he expressed unwavering determination, asserting that he was “far from done” and bidding the audience a heartfelt “see you later.”
However, this emotional moment took an unexpected turn when Dirty Dominik Mysterio seized the opportunity to mock Lee. Dirty Dom taunted Lee about his absence from the upcoming Deadline event and took a jab by suggesting Lee spend the night with Mami Rhea Ripley.

Undeterred, Lee responded by hinting that although he might not face Dirty Dom at Deadline, he remained committed to defending the North American title at the event. The situation escalated when Rey Mysterio appeared via video, pledging to be in Dom’s corner for the match. Adding to the intrigue, Dragon Lee made a surprise entrance, setting the stage for a potentially intense showdown.
Wes Lee’s fans and followers of NXT will undoubtedly be sending their best wishes for a swift and successful recovery as he navigates his injury and gears up for a triumphant return to the squared circle.
The NXT universe eagerly awaits Lee’s comeback, hoping to witness him overcome this unexpected obstacle and continue his promising journey in the world of professional wrestling.
