Wes Lee, Oba Femi, Ivar, Josh Briggs Segment
Wes Lee: Look, the last time I was in this ring, with a mic, things were a bit different to say the least, yeah? Now, I was in one of the darkest times of my life. And I honestly didn’t know if I would ever come back. Everybody knows how much I love NXT. But you all especially know how much that NXT North American Championship means to me, right? Now, when I lost it, it’s like it sent off a chain reaction of events that maybe we really question whether or not my career was over, completely. But this, all of this, I missed this. Look, I miss this so much that, two days after my major surgery, I was up and walking again. And a few weeks after that, I was back in the gym busting my ass. And yes, I struggled. Yes, it was hard, but I was focus on one goal, to get back here. I was supposed to miss nearly a year, but I fought, and in six months, I am standing back here in this ring, feeling this amazing energy. I honestly don’t know what to say.
Oba Femi: Wes, Wes, I’m not out here to cut you down. I’m rather impressed. I’m very, very impressed with you, and I’ve always been. The heights you took this title during your historic championship reign is nothing short of an accomplishment. But you’ve taken it as far as you can, now you get to sit back and watch me take this title to heights that you were never capable of. I will say that the trials and tribulations that you’ve overcome, they prove to show that you have a heart of a lion, the spirit of a warrior, but I am an actual warrior. I’m the ruler, the destroyer, the bringer of war. I am the mountain that you can’t climb, and you cannot conquer. Well, I’m guessing that you want a title opportunity, right?
Wes Lee: After everything that I just said, you’re damn right.
Oba Femi: Then do what you do best. Prove that you deserve an opportunity for this title, that was once yours.
Wes Lee: Oba, it’s clear to see that you check every single box of what a champion is supposed to look like. You have the size, you have the speed, you have the brute strength matched by your freakish athleticism. Now, I may not check just as much boxes as you do, but I can tell you that, when that title was in my hands. Come on.
Ivar: Wes Lee. Wes, everyone is excited to have you back, including me. Because I know exactly what it’s likes to come back from a career ending injury. I went through all of the same things you did. In fact, we have the same spinal surgeon. But Wes, when I came back, I had to fight for everything that I got, and I know that you’re not afraid to fight for everything you get, too. So, you want a shot at Oba? I want a shot at Oba.
Josh Briggs: Well, boys, it looks like we’re in a little bit of a pickle. You guys are all just so emotional. Wes, with your comeback story of the year. Ivar, showing the whole world who you are behind the paint and the Viking calls. But, boys, this is a man’s game, so let me throw some facts out to you. Stand & Deliver, the biggest event in NXT’s history, and Oba, you and I tore the damn house down. We stole the show. But we both know how close I was to taking that title, with broken ribs. Well, my ribs are healed, and I think we need to run that back, dog. And once I’m champion, Wes, Ivar, I’ll throw you guys a bone, I promise.
Oba Femi: See, all of you have compelling arguments.
Wes Lee: Well, Oba, if you’re the ruler that you say you are, why don’t you make this a Fatal Four Way?
Josh Briggs: That’s a good idea.
Oba Femi: Hey, that’s why I’m the champion, and you are not. Fight amongst yourselves. The winner gets an opportunity against me.
