Injuries are part of the pro wrestling business due to the athletic element of the show, and while some can be luckier than others, it’s nearly a guarantee that wrestlers will get injured at some point in their careers.
For Wes Lee, he had been on the sidelines since December with a back injury that resulted in him being sidelined. It was noted at the time he would be out of action for 6-8 months, although that timeline was much more serious than expected.
Lee was initially slated to challenge Dominik Mysterio for the North American Title at the Deadline 2023 PLE. Once Lee was pulled, they got Dragon Lee to replace him. Lee made his big return on Tuesday’s NXT, where he confronted North American Champion Oba Femi after his successful title defense against Ivar.
Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan reports that Lee has been cleared to return to the ring. It was said that “at one point, it was thought Wes would miss over a year at a minimum due to his injury, with retirement being a real possibility.”
