WWE and Dragon Lee have come to terms on a new contract, according to PWInsider. The site reports that Lee, 31, has signed, with the belief among sources that the deal is for five years. The length has not been fully confirmed, but the signing itself is.
Lee’s previous deal was set to expire this month.
The news comes after weeks of speculation around his future, as both he and his brother Dralistico (in AEW) were nearing the end of their respective contracts. The brothers had also recently trademarked the name “Hermanos Lee.”Before joining WWE, Lee built a strong reputation as one of the top luchadores in the world. He was a multi-time champion in CMLL and won the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship in Japan. In 2019 he signed with Ring of Honor, where he held the Television and Tag Team titles.
After ROH shut down under Sinclair, he made a few appearances in AEW before being written out following a storyline turn by his brother Rush.Lee debuted in WWE NXT in December 2023 and quickly captured the North American Championship. On the main roster he held the WWE Tag Team Championship with AJ Styles and the short-lived Speed Championship. He’s currently featured regularly on the main roster and in AAA, where he’s put together strong recent performances, including matches against Chad Gable and Rey Mysterio.
The new deal locks him in at a time when he’s been getting consistent TV time and high-profile matches. For a wrestler who has moved between Mexico, Japan, ROH, and now WWE, the extension gives him a longer runway on the main roster.
