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.

WWE World Tag Team Champion Dragon Lee is currently on a major hot streak, and WWE officials are taking notice—even when he\’s not in a WWE ring. According to a new report from PWInsider.com, officials were \”very impressed\” by Lee’s performance at the recent AAA Héroes Inmortales event, where he challenged Dominik Mysterio for the AAA Mega Championship.

Even though Lee lost the match, his performance has reportedly accelerated WWE\’s desire to secure his long-term future. The report states that WWE is now pushing to lock Lee into a new contract well before his current deal expires next year.

Lee, who signed with WWE in 2022, has seen his momentum skyrocket recently. Just last week on the October 20 episode of Monday Night Raw, he and AJ Styles captured the World Tag Team Championships from The Judgment Day, marking Lee\’s first title victory on the main roster. This recent success, combined with his standout performance at the AAA show, has solidified his value in the eyes of management.

Sources within WWE reportedly believe that Dragon Lee is \”becoming an essential part of regular programming.\” The push to get a new deal done now is seen as a strategic move to secure the 30-year-old star before outside offers can start \”rolling in\” as his contract expiration date approaches.

While Dragon Lee didn\’t walk away from Héroes Inmortales with another championship, he may have secured himself a more lucrative, long-term future in WWE.

Mere weeks after his WWE debut, El Grande Americano is proving he\’s not to be overlooked—this time by capturing championship gold. During the May 7 edition of WWE Speed, the luchador won the WWE Speed Championship, ending Dragon Lee\’s reign in the process.

With this victory, El Grande Americano becomes the fourth Superstar to hold the WWE Speed title, following in the footsteps of Ricochet, Andrade, and Lee. On X, El Grande shared a message with his supporters:

\”I want to publicly thank the WWE Universe for the support they have given me on my journey to earn my FIRST WWE singles title! Even though I\’ve been doing this for 40 years or more, I\’ve been made to feel like this is all new to me. Let\’s celebrate!!\”

Americano’s win wasn’t just a title victory—it marked yet another conquest over a fellow luchador. Since his \’debut\’ earlier this year, El Grande Americano has made it his mission to dismantle his masked rivals in WWE. At WrestleMania 41, he defeated Rey Fenix, who stepped in for the injured Rey Mysterio.

It remains to be seen how far El Grande Americano can go as WWE Speed Champion. But after decades of being blacklisted by the lucha community, or so he claims, Americano has firmly planted his boots in WWE—and he’s not going anywhere.

On March 24 at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, WWE Raw featured a compelling bout between Dragon Lee and the debuting El Grande Americano. Originally, Lee was slated to compete against Chad Gable. However, Gable, citing illness and presenting a doctor’s note to Raw General Manager Adam Pearce, was replaced by El Grande Americano.

The match was intense, with both competitors showcasing their athleticism. The turning point occurred when El Grande Americano, while countering a top-rope maneuver, forcibly removed Dragon Lee’s mask.

Lee scrambled to conceal his identity, providing El Grande Americano the opportunity to apply an ankle lock. With Lee preoccupied, he had no choice but to submit, granting El Grande Americano the victory.

There’s a deep cultural significance of masks in professional wrestling, particularly in lucha libre traditions. Unmasking an opponent is considered a profound sign of disrespect and can have lasting implications on a wrestler’s career.

Current WWE Speed Champion Dragon Lee has announced the birth of his third daughter.

The high-flying star had addressed his absence from WWE programming in recent times in an Instagram post earlier in the week. He revealed that his wife was in the final stages of pregnancy and he had been home helping her during this time.

Lee had noted that the little one could arrive as soon as this week and he confirmed the birth of his daughter in a social media post late on Thursday:

Dragon has a previous daughter from his first marriage and he also has another daughter from his second relationship as revealed in his previous post.

The 29-year-old Mexican luchador left AAA to join WWE at the start of 2023. Lee held the NXT North American Championship during his time in the WWE developmental, notably having a feud with \’Dirty\’ Dominik Mysterio over the title.

He joined the Latino World Order under the leadership of Rey Mysterio upon his main roster debut in April last year and Dragon Lee has been a part of the group ever since.

The masked star has not wrestled for WWE since the December 16, 2024 episode of Main Event and a timetable for his return is not known.

SEScoops would like to congratulate Lee and his partner on the occasion.

Dragon Lee was conspicuous by his absence during this week\’s WWE Raw when the LWO confronted Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. After Rey Mysterio\’s victory over Kingston, LWO members Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde thwarted an attack.

On his Instagram stories, Lee explained his absence.

“Hey everyone! Hope y’all are doing well. I don’t usually share my personal stuff, but I want to grab my phone and do it today because I am happy and anxious because in a few days I will hold in my hands my new princess that is on the way. She could (arrive) today, tomorrow, the day after, this weekend or even next week but she is coming, so I am very excited to receive my second princess, well actually third counting my first child and my wife. That’s been the reason why I have not been at work recently, I have been helping my wife but you will see a stronger Dragon Lee and giving my best as I always do inside that ring soon. Sending hugs to everyone!”

In May 2024, Lee shared that he and his wife are expecting their second child. In August, the couple confirmed that they are expecting a baby girl. Lee is currently in his first reign as WWE Speed Champion, a title he captured from Andrade during the episode that released on November 20.
