In a rare moment of unscripted emotion, former NXT Champion Karrion Kross broke character on social media to express his astonishment at Wes Lee’s impressive return to the ring on NXT. Lee, a former NXT North American Champion, made a triumphant comeback to the ring after a lengthy absence due to injury, and Kross couldn’t help but publicly acknowledge the phenomenal performance.
Before his injury, Lee was on a roll, enjoying an incredible singles run as NXT North American Champion, successfully defending his title almost every week. However, after losing the title, he struggled to find his footing until a foot injury put him on the sidelines for several months. Tonight, Lee made his highly anticipated return to the ring, facing off against Josh Briggs in an electrifying match that left the audience and apparently Kross, in awe.
Lee’s victory over Briggs was a testament to his enduring talent and determination, and Kross took to social media to share his thoughts on the impressive comeback. His tweet was a rare instance of a WWE superstar breaking character, showcasing that even the most stoic of on-screen personas can be moved by exceptional talent.
Lee’s triumphant return sets the stage for an exciting new chapter in his NXT career, but reclaiming the NXT North American Championship from the dominant Oba Femi will undoubtedly be an uphill battle. As the terrain of NXT continues to evolve, fans can’t help but wonder what’s next for Lee and whether he’ll be able to overcome the formidable champion and recapture his former glory.
Kross’s uncharacteristic outburst of admiration serves as a testament to the high level of competition in NXT, where even the most seasoned superstars are motivated by the exceptional talent that surrounds them. With Lee back in the mix, the future of NXT has never looked brighter, and fans are eagerly anticipating the epic battles that lie ahead.
