Zachary Wentz and Wes Lee, former tag team partners in WWE NXT, are now set to face each other in a singles match at NXT No Mercy following a recent betrayal. Lee discussed his mindset heading into the match during an interview, emphasizing that while he is not currently competing for a championship, he still views himself as a superstar. He believes Wentz should consider himself lucky to be in the ring with him and that Wentz has something to prove in the match.
The background of the match stems from Wentz’s previous success as NXT Tag Team Champions with Lee before his release from WWE due to controversial photographs. Wentz later returned to TNA Wrestling and reformed The Rascalz with Trey Miguel, setting up the encounter with Lee just days after claiming the X-Division Championship at TNA Emergence.
Lee sees himself as the measuring stick of NXT, highlighting the significance of the match for Wentz to prove himself in the WWE landscape once again. The tension between the former partners adds an intriguing element to their upcoming clash at No Mercy.
