Wes Lee battles Zachary Wentz in a battle of former friends at NXT No Mercy, and he recently spoke about the match. The two will face off on Sunday’s show, and Lee spoke with The Ringer Wrestling Show about the match being a non-title bout and more. You can see highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:
On the match being the only non-title bout on the card: “I’m not saying that I’m above a championship or anything like that because I’m still striving to achieve and acquire those championships, but I’m a superstar. I am a star. I don’t need a championship in order for me to be seen as such, so [Wentz] should be lucky to be in the match with me, to be even getting the rub that he is. But I also know that he has something to prove. And I also know that I am the proper one to be bringing that out of him.”
On Wentz’ opportunity in the match: “If he truly feels like this is where he’s supposed to be again, then he’s going to have to prove it against the measuring stick of NXT. I am NXT, period point blank.”
