Wes Lee is contemplating his next move following a disappointing defeat by the current NXT North American Champion Oba Femi at the NXT Heatwave event that happened recently.
It was a rocky night for Lee, who fell to Femi in the first match of the evening. Due to the defeat, he is now barred from challenging for the title as long as Femi remains the champion.
During a conversation behind the scenes, Lee admitted that Oba was the superior competitor and he needs some time to strategize his next steps. Fans can expect to hear more from Lee on this week’s WWE NXT.
“I’m at a loss for words”

Femi is presently enjoying his inaugural reign as North American Champion, having nabbed the title from Dragon Lee by making the most of his NXT Breakout Tournament opportunity.
