Blake was with the Stamford-based company for nearly eight years. He started his career in NXT and rose to prominence as a tag team star with Buddy Matthews as his partner.

Wesley Blake has not wrestled much since leaving WWE
Wesley Blake was a prominent name on NXT for a long time before he moved up to the main roster in 2020. Blake, along with Steve Cutler and Jaxson Ryker, was assigned to SmackDown. However, the Forgotten Sons failed to hit their stride on the blue brand, and Wesley was released in 2021 after months of inactivity.
The 34-year-old returned to the Independent Circuit after leaving WWE. He also joined the Control Your Narrative wrestling promotion, which was created by EC3 and Braun Strowman. However, Blake has not wrestled much in the last few years.
His wife Sara Lee passed away in October 2022, after which the former superstar has competed in just two bouts. Sara was one of the 13 finalists for the sixth season of WWE Tough Enough and was eventually chosen as the winner by fans. The late star also competed on NXT for nearly a year.
