Wes Lee has been absent from regular wrestling on WWE for some time

Wes Lee was signed with the company back in 2022 along with Zachary Wentz. While controversy surrounding Wentz saw him released by the company, Lee stayed on. He won the NXT Tag Team titles in the company, but it had to be vacated after Wentz' release.

Since then he has won the NXT North American title as well, and held it for a massive 269 days. He last wrestled on July 29 on NXT and has not been seen on TV since then.

It remains to be seen if he rejoins his Rascalz compatriots now that he has been let go.
