Former North American Champion exits amid new round of roster cuts
Summary

Wes Lee has been released from WWE, marking one of the most surprising exits in the company’s latest wave of departures. According to Bodyslam.net, Lee’s contract termination falls under NXT’s structure, meaning he will serve a 30-day non-compete period before appearing elsewhere.
Lee first made his name in WWE as one-half of the acclaimed tag team MSK alongside Nash Carter. The duo captured the 2021 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and became two-time NXT Tag Team Champions. After MSK disbanded, Lee transitioned to singles competition, where he quickly became one of NXT’s most exciting stars and captured the North American Championship. His reign drew praise for his consistency, agility, and dynamic performances.
Wes Lee’s release adds to a growing list of talent cuts this week, including Stevie Turner, Lance Anoa’i, Drako Knox, Haze Jameson, Summer Sorrell, Brayden “BJ” Ray, Jamar Hampton, and Jin Tala.
Known for his connection with fans and ability to elevate every match, Lee leaves a legacy of passion and resilience in NXT. His next move will be closely watched across the wrestling world.
