WWE NXT’s Wes Lee gives update on recovery from back surgery
Though he doesn’t know when his body will be ready to wrestle again, Wes Lee is doing well in his recovery from back surgery.
The former NXT North American Champion shared an injury update on Saturday morning, writing that he’s making great progress. Lee doesn’t know when his body will be “firing on all cylinders,” but his mind is strong.
Lee posted a video of him spray-painting and noted that he’s using that as a creative outlet while out of action:
Recovery update: I’m making great progress, still uncertain on when everything will be firing on all cylinders with my body, but the mind is strong. Having creative waves and I’m diving back into other outlets to create art.
Haven’t done this since ‘08 so bare with the sloppiness..hope everyone has a great and safe weekend!
Lee announced in December 2023 that he needed to undergo back surgery and would be out of action for 8-12 months. He was supposed to challenge then-champion Dominik Mysterio for the North American title at NXT Deadline on December 9.
Shawn Michaels said he knew Lee had been struggling with back issues for quite some time but didn’t know the depth of the injury until it forced Lee out of action.
In January, Lee tweeted that he was back walking again after surgery.
Lee has held the NXT North American Championship once and the NXT Tag Team titles twice during his WWE career.
