The opening match of WWE NXT Vengeance Day 2023 saw Wes Lee retain the NXT North American title against Dijak.

The match was a fast-paced one with much back-and-forth action. Lee got an early start before Dijak took over. Lee had a near fall at one stage hitting a brainbuster. The two did some near falls down the wire.

Dijak trapped Lee in a desk chair with a broom and tried a moonsault from the top to the outside, but Tony D’Angelo and Stacks pushed Lee out of the way. Lee got Dijak back in the ring to deliver a series of kicks and win.

Lee originally won the title at Halloween Havoc on October 22, 2022.
