Dragon Lee gives WWE status update
We haven’t seen Dragon Lee compete in the ring since WWE WrestleMania 42, but it sounds like that will be changing soon.
Lee tweeted out a short message today where he only wrote “2-3 weeks.” While there was no further context provided, former Bodyslam reporter Cory Hays notes that Lee was said to be banged up coming out of WrestleMania.
At night two of the event on April 19, Lee was one of the competitors in a six-pack ladder match for the Intercontinental title. It ended with Penta defeating Lee, Rey Mysterio, Je’Von Evans, Rusev, and JD McDonagh to retain. Penta is now set to defend his title against the newly called up Ethan Page at Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 23.
Lee was not part of the card for Backlash last weekend, but he did make a public appearance for WWE that day, doing a meet and greet alongside Rey Fenix at Cosm in Los Angeles.
There’s been no confirmation regarding the physical issue Lee is dealing with. After the match at WrestleMania, he could be seen favoring his thigh/leg while heading to the back with Penta and Mysterio.
In the 2-3 week timeframe, WWE has AAA Noche de los Grandes taking place in Mexico on May 30. Lee makes appearances in AAA in addition to his WWE Raw role.
