Wes Lee is turning the page on his old persona. The former NXT North American Champion made waves during the November 26 episode of NXT on the CW Network, debuting a striking new look that's a far cry from the braided hairstyle fans have long associated with him. This time, Lee showed up with a fresh, cropped hairstyle and a sequined shirt reminiscent of The Rock's iconic heel-era wardrobe.

The timing of his appearance was no coincidence. Lee hit the stage moments after Ethan Page secured his spot in the Iron Survivor Challenge with a win over Axiom. With a swagger that matched his new style, Lee didn't mince words, declaring his intentions to win big at NXT Deadline. Already qualified for the highly anticipated match, Lee made it clear that he plans to outshine his competition and climb to the top of NXT.

But talk wasn't all Lee brought to the table. The segment erupted into chaos when a brawl broke out between the competitors slated for the Iron Survivor Challenge. Lee didn't hesitate to throw himself into the action, showing off the same fiery determination that once made him a fan favorite.

Lee's reinvention has sparked plenty of buzz among wrestling fans, leaving many to wonder if this is the start of a new chapter for the high-flying star. Could this fresh look and attitude propel him to victory at NXT Deadline and potentially put him on the path to the NXT Championship? Only time will tell.
