Dragon Lee is back.
Tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw featured Rey Mysterio taking on Rusev in a IC Title #1 Contender match. This match was made by General Manager Adam Pearce after Ethan Page objected to the WWE Hall of Famer getting a title shot without having to earn it.
Page sat ringside for this encounter. The ending of the bout saw Rusev catching the high-flying star mid-way through 619 and going for the Accolade. Before the submission could be locked properly, however, Mysterio rolled the former AEW star up for a successful pin.
The Bulgarian Brute attacked the new #1 Contender after the bell, prompting the return of Dragon Lee. Ethan Page tried to ruin the moment, but Lee took him out too, and then set Rusev up for a 619. The segment finally ended with Dragon Lee taking out Page with a dive outside the ring, while Rey connected the 619 on Rusev:
Dragon Lee last wrestled during Night 2 of WrestleMania 42, taking part in the IC title ladder match where Penta retained the belt. He had been off TV since then. There is no word on when Rey will be getting his title shot but it’s unlikely to be added to the Clash In Italy PPV this Sunday.
