Dragon Lee is the latest notable name to sign with WWE after finding success in the wrestling world by working for ROH, NJPW, AAA, and AEW.
WWE officially signed him in late December. Lee got over with AEW fans when he was part of Los Ingobernables a few months ago.
He announced he signed with WWE after he and Dralsitico beat FTR to win the AAA Tag Team Titles at the AAA Noche de Campeones event in Acapulco.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that those in AAA believed that Dragon Lee making his way to WWE was a joke and not real at all.
Meltzer wrote, “The announcers, as well as a lot of fans and media, believed the Dragon Lee going to WWE story was a joke since their version of April Fool’s day was the day of the show. That’s why they no sold his interview talking about going to WWE after winning the tag titles.”
WWE is hoping to have Lee on the main roster by next year as they have high hopes that he can be their next big Hispanic star like Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio had been in the past.
