In a night where old friendships were put to the test, TNA X-Division Champion Zachary Wentz proved that payback is a dish best served with a side of betrayal at “WWE NXT” No Mercy. With a little assist from Trey Miguel, Wentz got his revenge on former Rascalz stablemate Wes Lee, who had turned heel on Wentz and Miguel after they couldn’t capture the NXT Tag Team Championships at the Great American Bash. If this match were a reunion, it would’ve been more Jerry Springer than high school reunion.
The action was intense from the start, with both men trading blows like they were trying to settle an old score—because, well, they were. Things got particularly heated outside the ring when Lee decided to target Wentz’s knee and shoulder like he was checking off a hit list. After slamming Wentz into the ring post, Lee seemed ready to walk away with the win, especially after nailing Wentz with a Kardiak Kick that would’ve put most people down for the count. But not Wentz—he’s built different, clearly.
Back in the ring, Wentz locked Lee into a Boston Crab, but Lee wriggled out and came back with a meteora that should’ve earned him a victory lap. Instead, Lee took a detour, sending Wentz crashing through the announce desk and then delivering a stomp from the top rope onto the floor. In a moment of indecision that would’ve cost him on a game show, Lee reached for Wentz’s X-Division title but opted for a chair instead. Big mistake.
Enter Trey Miguel, stage left. Miguel’s distraction was all Wentz needed to regain the upper hand. A Canadian Destroyer later, and Wentz had Lee back in the ring, ready to serve him the final blow. With a springboard rolling stunner, aptly named the UFO, Wentz pinned his former friend for the win. As the dust settled, one thing was clear: in the world of wrestling, revenge isn’t just sweet—it’s championship-caliber.
