Lee jumped back into character to build to No Mercy.
The latest on the NXT-TNA crossover front is former Knockouts World Champion Rosemary debuted on the 8/27 NXT. That trend continues going into No Mercy and several NXT talents will clash with TNA talents.
Wes Lee is one of the names scheduled for in-ring action at No Mercy against now-former partner Zachary Wentz. Lee appeared on The Ringer Wrestling Show and spoke about being part of the company crossover. He said he was able to spend time with his brothers because of it. Lee then got back into character and further dove into why he turned on Wentz and Trey Miguel.
I’m just like everybody else. This is something that we never thought was gonna be happening in the world. Period, not even just the world. These are two amazing companies that are blending their styles to create a unique product that so many people did not know that they needed and to have the crossover between NXT and TNA has been nothing but beneficial. I got to spend time with my brothers again, which is something that I have not been able to have for years. I relished in that. I spoke before the promo. I loved it and it was something that I desperately needed and just like we talked about from before, seeing them (Zachary Wentz & Trey Miguel) click again in this environment helped fuel my fire again in another magical way but also, it kind of put me in another mindset of, what’s next for me? And how can I level up beyond what I am already? And how can I apply that level up? And it just so happened that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. That anger was coming out on somebody and it just so happened that it was them right there. I’m not gonna say that I regret it. I slightly do, but, I also know that for me to do it to my own brothers means that nobody should really get on my bad side. I like to have fun. I like to laugh, I like to joke. I got a pretty decent smile so I like to show it off as much as I possibly can. But if you get on my bad side, there’s a lot of darkness inside of this heart that I have and I do it and I hide it with my love for the thing. But do not get on the dark side. Do not get on the dark side.
