WWE’s Head of NXT Shawn Michaels had a touching moment with new NXT North American Champion Wes Lee following his title victory.
Lee won the North American Championship at last night’s Halloween Havoc pay-per-view event, after the title was stripped from Solo Sikoa back in September.
In a video, the emotional Lee can be seen being comforted by Michaels, immensely proud of the young Superstar.

Lee had been part of MSK, but the tag-team was split after Nash Carter’s release from WWE earlier this year.
This marks Lee’s first singles title win in WWE, where he is also a two-time NXT Tag Team Champion (with Carter.)
