In a surprising turn of events, NXT witnessed a dramatic revelation on the December 5 episode when Wes Lee, fresh off a victory against three former NXT North American Champions, announced a devastating injury.
Armed with a walking cane, Lee disclosed that he would be undergoing surgery, forcing him out of action indefinitely.
Unfortunately, this meant he would no longer be challenging Dominik Mysterio for the North American Title at the highly anticipated NXT Deadline event this Saturday.
Despite the setback, Lee assured fans that it was not a permanent goodbye, expressing that he was “far from done.” As he exited the ring, little did he know that more surprises awaited him, setting the stage for an unpredictable turn of events.
