Dragon Lee match set for next week’s WWE Raw
A grudge match is going down on WWE Raw next Monday.
Dragon Lee vs. Carlito will take place on next week’s Raw episode from the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas. The match was confirmed during an interview with Lee and the LWO on Raw Talk.
Before WrestleMania 40, there was an angle where Carlito betrayed the LWO and took out Lee in a backstage attack. Carlito was jealous that Mysterio had chosen Lee to be his WrestleMania tag team partner. Andrade ended up teaming with Mysterio at the event as they defeated Santos Escobar & Dominik Mysterio.
“[Carlito] took away my biggest opportunity at WrestleMania, and he will pay for what he did,” Lee said in a promo on Raw Talk. “I’m going to show him — and I will show the world — what I’m capable of.”
Since his heel turn, Carlito has become aligned with The Judgment Day. Lee, Rey Mysterio & Braun Strowman defeated Carlito, Dominik & JD McDonagh in a six-man tag bout on Raw last night. Lee pinned Carlito after a splash from Strowman’s shoulders.
Next Monday’s Raw is taking place two days after WWE Clash at the Castle. The build to Money in the Bank will officially begin on the episode. It also appears that Uncle Howdy and his new faction may be debuting that night.
