Dragon Lee was signed by WWE with high hopes for him. The plan was to fast-track him to the main roster, as they believed he could become the next great Mexican star like Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero.
However, his start at the Performance Center was delayed due to visa issues. He finally had his first WWE match at a house show in March and later made his TV debut.
According to Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it seems that Lee has now made it to the main roster.
“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. He was legitimately debating between AEW and WWE last year when both made their offers and WWE did indicate main roster money in the deal for year two. Lee asked around and was told that AEW was oversaturated with talent and WWE would be best for him. In Mexico, a lot of people were looking at how Dragon Lee and Bandido, who started at similar times, did, respectively. Bandido was slowed down by injuries but at this point Lee is ahead,” Meltzer wrote.
