Sucks for Wes Lee. He did nothing wrong in all of this.
Give him a NA Title shot to make up for it perhaps?

Wes Lee would be better off going back to Impact now because his career in this company is dunso and he did nothing wrong.

With the JBL thing (besides being whataboutism here.) What he did is Illegal. Literally you are not allowed to do that in Germany. He also suffered some consequences from it I think he was suspended/fined and had to issue a public apology. (I think he might have lost his show too? unrelated to the WWE) it also happened like... almost 20 years ago? That’s the thing, JBL’s offense may as well have happened in an actual different company for how different things operated in 2004. There wasn’t this heavy emphasis on protecting the PR image of the company above all else, nor was there the kind of social media landscape to spread the footage and mobilise the kind of rabid outrage this kind of thing would create if it happened now. JBL probably WOULD be fired if he was goosestepping and saluting in a WWE ring in Germany in 2022. JBL did lose his gig with CNBC over the incident though.

Not just for JBL but for the look wrestling has to the outside world. One of their own gets a gig on a major news network, and he acts like a carny and gets fired. The outside world already cringes at the thought of pro-wrestling/whatever you call it. JBL just makes it look worse - even though he was one idiot who didn't reflect all.

Bryan Alvarez mentioned on WOL many in NXT who knew what was going on and know both parties say they are on Carter's side... but st the same time said it was incredibly dumb to put the belts on MSK since WWE knew Kimber was making allegations (and supposedly WWE told the Creed Bros to make sure their family was at Stand and Deliver so as of last week the plan was to give the belts to the Creeds).
From what ive seen many wrestlers on the indies who know both are basically taking the approach of no comment

The Creeds were really hot with the NXT crowds and should've been the team to win IMO.

Yeah I was questioning having MSK win even before I heard about the allegations. The Creeds should have won regardless.

At least Imperium is broken up so we don’t have to worry about a third terrible boring title reign from them.
I’m pumped for Creeds / Pretty Deadly,

Instead of the current mess they are in where a team just is suddenly not the champions for reasons they can't explain on television because they for some reason thought it was a good idea putting belts on said team despite one of it's members having serious allegations thrown his way.

Kimber Lee has deleted her Twitter now. She was getting some pretty disgusting things thrown her way so I get it. But also sounds like many peers were also questioning her claims. So it was a bad mix. Kimber was also told by a couple promotions she had booking with that or was probably best for her to not show up. No matter what is true and what isn't its sad to see Kimber unraveling right now

Not that important in the long run, but I wonder how they're going to explain the tag belts being vacant in kayfabe.

Nash Carter will be erased from NXT so that means his sister Kayden will have to block his number on her phone.

Tony D'Angelo: *beating Nash Carter* Wes Lee: Oh, Tony D'Angelo *shaking his head* Tony: What? What did I do? *drops bat and walks away*
