We are on the verge of NXT's highly anticipated premium live event, NXT Deadline, scheduled to take place on December 9th, 2023, at the Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgepoint, Connecticut. The event is poised to showcase several high-profile clashes, including Men's and Women's Iron Survivor matches. One of the marquee matchups features Dragon Lee looking to dethrone NXT North American Champion against Dominik Mysterio.

We may see this bout witness the involvement of Rey Mysterio, as he has been intertwined with the storyline. For those unaware, Rey has already played a significant role in his current storyline by announcing Dragon Lee as a replacement for Wes Lee, who was initially scheduled for the match but had to withdraw due to injury.

With Rey already being involved in the storyline in some capacity, his presence at NXT Deadline seems to be a realistic possibility. The former WWE Champion and Lee have already shared multiple segments in the company and if this potential scenario unfolds in tonight's show, it would surely add another interesting element to this title bout given the history between the father and the son.

Even the presence of Rey in Lee's corner might result in an unexpected title loss for the Judgment Day member.

As NXT Deadline unfolds, it will be intriguing to witness the culmination of this storyline and discover who will emerge victorious in the NXT North American Championship clash between Dragon Lee and Dominik Mysterio.
