The match itself was nothing short of enthralling as the participants put their bodies on the line. Lee himself was involved in a dangerous segment with Von Wagner when the latter threw him onto the announcers' desk from the ring. The ending saw Lee overcome Hayes to unhook the title.
Wes Lee is a former two-time NXT Tag Team Champion. He won the titles alongside Nash Carter, who was let go by WWE earlier in 2022. However, Wes Lee's redemption arc was completed at Halloween Havoc as he marked his first singles title win in WWE.
