Plans for a recently called-up 28-year-old WWE Superstar have potentially been revealed.
It was reported earlier today that Dragon Lee has been quietly called up to the main roster. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that he impressed in his match against Dominik Mysterio, and it sped up his timetable to be called up to the main roster. Lee signed with the company in December 2022 and made his in-ring debut at NXT Stand & Deliver earlier this year.
He served as the special guest referee for the North American Championship match at NXT No Mercy. Trick Williams defeated Dominik Mysterio at the premium live event to capture the title, but Dirty Dom won it back this past Tuesday night on NXT.
A new report from Ringside News has confirmed that Dragon Lee is officially on the main roster. The luchador will reportedly be a part of the SmackDown roster moving forward on WWE television. Insider account BWE noted that there was always a plan to bring him up to the main roster, but it would have taken a few weeks.
