DRAGON LEE MAKES NXT DEBUT

By Mike Johnson on 2023-03-07 20:49:00

Former ROH TV Champion Dragon Lee was shown sitting ringside on tonight's WWE NXT Roadblock broadcast.

PWInsider.com reported in the Elite section that Lee made his first visit to the WWE Performance Center earlier today.

We are told Lee arrived at the facility around 2 PM this afternoon, having just moved to Orlando this week with his family to officially kick off Lee's WWE tenure.  

Lee, 27, was a multi-time champion in Mexico's CMLL and is considered one of the best luchadors in the world.   In Japan, he won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship. In January of 2019, Lee signed with Ring of Honor, where he held the TV and Tag Team titles.  He was with the promotion until Sinclair Broadcast Group shuttered it and sold the company to Tony Khan.  Lee made several post-ROH appearances in AEW but was quickly written out of the promotion after being turned on by his brother, Rush.

It was announced during last December at the Lucha Libre AAA Noche de Campeones PPV in Acapulco that Lee had officially signed with WWE.  Since then, Lee and WWE have been waiting for his visa paperwork to be completed.
