During the announcement, Lee mentioned that the injury would necessitate surgery. Commentary by Vic Joseph suggested that the former North American Champion could potentially be sidelined for an extended period, ranging from 8 to 12 months.
Responding to a supportive message from his wife Erica Marie on Twitter, Lee expressed his gratitude with a heartfelt reply:
“You have been the greatest source of strength that I could’ve ever asked for. Thank you for constantly uplifting me mi Reina. I love you so damn much and can’t say enough how much you mean to me. MEA FLR.”
Dominik Mysterio, Lee’s scheduled opponent, initially welcomed the announcement, believing he would get the night off at Deadline.

Adding to the intrigue, the sidelined Rey Mysterio, currently recovering from knee surgery, will be in Lee’s corner for the match.
WrestleTalk extends well-wishes to Wes Lee for a successful surgery and a swift recovery. The unexpected turn of events adds an extra layer of anticipation to the upcoming NXT matchups, showcasing the unpredictable nature of the world of professional wrestling.
