It looks like one NXT star has already been moved to the WWE main roster.
Dragon Lee was a big signing for WWE as the company has high hopes for Lee. Once he inked the deal in December, the expectation was he would be fast-tracked to the main roster because they thought he could be the next great Mexican star, such as Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero.
Lee’s WWE start at the Performance Center was delayed due to him having visa issues, but he worked his first WWE match at a house show in March and later made his TV debut.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that “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.”
Before inking the deal with WWE, Lee also had interest from AEW and was debating both deals.
