Wes Lee underwent back surgery
Lee had been dealing with back issue and it ultimately put him out of action. He has been NXT North American Champion in the past and had the opportunity to claim the title yet again in December last year. However, he revealed that he would undergo back surgery which would keep him on the shelf for eight to twelve months.
Lee was scheduled to challenge Dominik Mysterio for the title at NXT Deadline but he was pulled from the high-stakes match due to last-minute changes. Dragon Lee was announced as the replacement who went on to face Mysterio.
In January, Lee revealed that he was back on his feet, while last month, he stepped foot in the ring for the first time since surgery. It seems that Wes Lee is recuperating well and could be returning soon to do what he does best.
