Posted at: September 4, 2024 - 5:50 AM

Wes Lee, a rising star in WWE NXT, has shared insights into his mentorship under wrestling legend Shawn Michaels. Lee, who joined WWE in 2020, has been recovering from a back injury and found inspiration in Michaels’ own experience with a similar setback. Michaels, now the head of NXT, advised Lee to “prove yourself wrong,” emphasizing that self-doubt is often the biggest obstacle to overcome.

Lee expressed admiration for Michaels’ ability to battle his personal demons and return from injury to have a successful second career. This example has been a source of motivation for Lee, who has now fully recovered from his back injury. Lee states he is in excellent physical, mental, and spiritual condition, ready to elevate his career to new heights. He made a surprise comeback to NXT on April 30, just a few months after sustaining his injury, demonstrating his determination to follow in Michaels’ footsteps of a strong post-injury return.
