Wes Lee vs Zachary Wentz: Heartbreakingly dangerous finish sees WWE Universe give both men a standing ovation on NXT

Wes Lee and Zachary Wentz have been in a heated rivalry for the past few weeks. Tonight, they had the chance to end this feud.

A few months ago, Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel appeared on NXT and reunited with Wes Lee. However, this was short-lived, as Lee betrayed both his best friends a few weeks later.

Since then, Wentz has been feuding with the man he once called his brother. They faced each other at NXT No Mercy 2024, where Wentz won. However, this did little to settle their feud as Wes Lee attacked Trey Miguel a few weeks later, thereby costing The Rascalz a chance to become the number one contenders for the NXT Tag Team Championship. As a result, a street fight was set up between both men for tonight.

As expected, the match got off to a hot start as Lee didn't want to wait for Zachary Wentz to get to the ring, so he tried to dive into him while the latter was entering. Both men gave their all in this match, leaving everything in the ring. In the end, Lee wrapped a steel chain around his shin and hit the Wentz with the Meteora to pick up the win. After the match, fans gave them a standing ovation.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker.
