Later backstage, Josh Briggs told Ivar that he would be next to challenge Femi while Ivar said he wasn’t done with Femi. Lee came in and said he wanted his title back, causing tension between the three.

Lee had been out of action since December with a back injury that required surgery. It was originally estimated he would be out for 8-12 months. He was set to face Dominik Mysterio for the North American title at NXT’s Deadline event last December. After being pulled from the bout, he was replaced by Dragon Lee, who defeated Mysterio to win the North American Championship at Deadline.

Lee went on to hold the title for 31 days before Femi ended his run, cashing in his NXT Breakout Tournament title match back in January.
