Dragon Lee has officially been moved to the main roster.
The second-generation star signed with WWE back in December 2022, but was forced to wait to make his debut due to visa issues. Lee stepped into a WWE ring for the first time at an NXT live event in March, before wrestling at Stand & Deliver on April 1st.
The former AAA star ended up in a feud with Dominik Mysterio for the North American Title which led to a match on Raw between the pair. It was later reported by Dave Meltzer that Dragon Lee had impressed so much during the match, that he was being moved to the main roster permanently.
Dragon Lee did so well with Dominik that it looks like he’s now on the main roster. The nature of the deal he signed did indicate he’d be on the main roster after one year in NXT to begin with, but the match with Dominik may have sped up his timetable.”
Lee has now been added to the SmackDown roster on WWE.com just days after beating Austin Theory on the blue brand.
Dragon Lee Turned Down AEW Move
After Dragon Lee signed with WWE, it was reported he’d also been offered a deal by AEW. However, he turned the offer down in favour of signing with WWE for more money, with the belief that he’d be a main roster star in 2024.
In recent news, Dragon Lee’s brother, Dralistico, has been added to AEW’s roster page.
