Injury Shocker: WWE Superstar Faces Indefinite Absence, Withdrawn from High-Stakes Bout
The NXT landscape took an emotional turn as Wes Lee, riding high on a recent victory, dropped a bombshell during the latest episode on December 5.
Struggling with an injury that required immediate surgery, Lee shattered expectations by announcing his indefinite departure from the ring.
The news also meant that his scheduled North American Title match against Dominik Mysterio at NXT Deadline was canceled.
Despite the somber tone, Lee reassured fans that this wasn’t a final farewell and that he was merely saying “see you later.”
