“Right now, his end goal is that he’s become a champion. It just so happened to be with the help of the entire Judgment Day, but he’s still champion,” Lee pointed out. “I have to tip my hat to him because he is carrying the championship right now. Am I happy about it? No. But, I gotta give him his credit. I gotta give him his kudos because he was able to grow to a point that he was able to take my championship from me.”

Mysterio has remained busy since his win over Lee. The new “NXT” North American Champion defended his title against Butch on last Friday’s “SmackDown” and against Sami Zayn on Monday night’s “Raw,” receiving plenty of help from his colleagues in The Judgment Day en route to those victories.
