After spending his career on the independent scene and IMPACT Wrestling, Wes Lee signed with WWE in December 2020.
Lee, known as Dezmond Xavier on the independent scene, was joined by his Rascalz tag team parter Nash Carter (Zachary Wentz) to form MSK.
Speaking on the Mark Moses Show, Lee reflected on signing with WWE.
"There was a situation about five years ago where the opportunity was presented to us a little earlier on, but communication didn't quite happen. I was bouncing around the world at the time, so it was rather difficult to get in contact with me. In the time period they wanted to reach out to me, I was busy at the time and unable to reach back out with them. Once the perfect moment happened and we were able to discuss things and formulate a plan on how we were going to move forward with everything, you know that feeling of right before a storm is about to hit and there is that weird calm? You can feel the temperature change, you feel rain is about to come, you feel in your bones that something is about to happen, that's what I felt, but there were never any rain clouds, never a storm, just a calm over my presence in this lifetime. 'Okay, you're where you need to be now. You're going to be doing what you're supposed to do. Follow through with everything you have and your life will be the way you want it to be.' Having that phone call really let me know that I was on the proper path," he said before remarking that there was a big celebration for his signing.
Lee has had a successful run in NXT, winning the NXT Tag Team Champions on two occasions and now defending the NXT North American Championship as the reigning champion.
