Viewers of “WWE NXT” were pleasantly surprised on April 30 when Wes Lee made a comeback to the WWE after a serious back injury. Anticipated to be sidelined for a minimum of eight months, Lee defied the odds and returned to action after just four months, securing a victory over Josh Briggs on the May 7 episode of “NXT.”
On a recent episode of “Busted Open Radio,” Tommy Dreamer expressed his delight at Lee’s return. Dreamer commended Lee for his impressive comeback, acknowledging the determination and effort he put in to make his way back to the wrestling ring.
Initially, WWE insiders had projected a recovery time of around a year for Lee, with concerns that the injury could potentially lead to his retirement. However, Lee has his eyes set on NXT North American Champion Oba Femi, signaling his intention to recapture the title he held for an impressive 269 days.
