In a shocking turn of events, former NXT North American Champion Wes Lee made a triumphant return to the ring at Week Two of the NXT Spring Breakin’ event, leaving fans and critics alike in awe. The unexpected comeback comes just a few months after Lee suffered a serious back injury that was initially expected to keep him sidelined for over a year.
According to reports from Fightful Select, Lee’s injury was so severe that retirement was a real possibility at one point. However, the determined wrestler has beaten the initial timetable for his return, much to the delight of the NXT faithful.
Lee’s return was nothing short of dramatic, as he emerged from the crowd to confront current NXT North American Champion Oba Femi following his successful title defense against Ivar. The former champion jumped from the ringside barricade to the ring steps before staring down Femi in the middle of the ring, showcasing his remarkable recovery.
The 2024 WWE Draft had already shaken things up in NXT, with five top-tier stars, including Dijak and former NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov, making their way to other brands. However, Lee’s return brings a much-needed injection of excitement and energy to the roster.
It’s worth noting that Lee was originally slated to face Dominik Mysterio for the North American Championship at NXT Deadline in December 2023 but was forced to withdraw due to his injury.
In a heart-wrenching promo, Lee addressed the crowd while standing on crutches, only to be mocked by Mysterio. Fast-forward a few months, and Lee has proven his doubters wrong, silencing critics and inspiring fans with his incredible resilience.
As Lee begins his journey back to the top of the NXT mountain, fans can’t help but wonder what’s next for this talented superstar. Will he reclaim his spot as North American Champion, or will he set his sights on an even bigger prize? One thing is certain – Wes Lee’s miraculous return is a testament to his unwavering dedication and passion for professional wrestling.
