WWE Star Hurt During Main Event Match

Prior to this week’s episode of WWE RAW at the TD Garden Arena in Boston, MA, WWE taped several matches for upcoming episodes of Speed and Main Event. Unfortunately, one star may have suffered an injury during the tapings.

NXT star Wes Lee appeared to have sustained a possible foot or ankle injury while working the Main Event tapings, according to PWInsider. While the severity of the injury is unconfirmed, Lee was reportedly evaluated immediately after the match.

The following matches were taped:

  • Wes Lee defeated Dion Lennox
  • Pete Dunne defeated Dragon Lee
  • Josh Briggs defeated Dante Chen

This development comes during a busy week for WWE, with upcoming episodes of NXT TV being taped, including tonight’s taping in Lowell, MA, before another round of tapings on Thursday.

Wes Lee has had an eventful year. After returning from injury in April, he confronted then-NXT North American Champion Oba Femi. Since then, he has feuded with stars like Josh Briggs, Gallus, and The Rascalz.

We wish Wes Lee a speedy recovery and hope to see him back in action soon.

Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifiers & More Set For 11/12 WWE NXT

The road to WWE NXT Deadline will begin in earnest on the upcoming episode of WWE NXT, with two Iron Survivor Challenge qualifying matches announced. On X, WWE NXT GM Ava shared that Wes Lee will face Cedric Alexander in a Men’s Qualifying match, while Cora Jade will take on Sol Ruca for a spot in the Women’s match.

The Iron Survivor Challenge

The Iron Survivor Challenge is a 25-minute match featuring five Superstars, two of which start the match. A new entrant enters every five minutes, with the winner being the Superstar who scores the most points, earned by pinfall or submission. While those entering the match later have less time to score points, they’re also considerably fresher than those who started the match.

Roxanne Perez and Grayson Waller won the inaugural matches in 2022, earning a shot at the NXT Women’s title and NXT title respectively. Perez’s victory would lead to her first reign as NXT Women’s Champion, ending the 413-day reign of Mandy Rose. Blair Davenport and Trick Williams on their matches in 2023.
