Following a grueling defeat in Tuesday’s WWE NXT, Wes Lee exited the Capitol Wrestling Center, announcing his departure from the championship pursuit.
Lee faced a significant setback in the race for the NXT Championship #1 contender spot, losing to Ilja Dragunov in the initial match of Tuesday’s program.
As the event unfolded, Lee was spotted in the backdrop as Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams were present, systematically emptying his locker and taking off his nameplate.
In a subsequent statement, Lee expressed his resolution to step back and return home, unable to secure a spot in the forthcoming No Mercy event. With heavy emotions, he abandoned the facility, ostensibly resigning from the competition.
