The match was Lee’s first in six weeks. He has been away from the company on paternity leave as he and his wife Lupita recently welcomed the birth of their second daughter. His last match had been on December 16 in a loss to Pete Dunne taped for Main Event.
Gable was coming off having defeated Charlie Dempsey and Chris Sabin in two tournament matches to earn the title shot.
A match pitting Zoey Stark vs. Kayden Carter is scheduled for the next episode of WWE Speed.
