The former Ring of Honor World Television Champion made his WWE debut at NXT Roadblock earlier last week, where he was simply present as part of the crowd during the six-man tag team match between “NXT” Champion Bron Breakker, The Creed Brothers, Jinder Mahal, and Indus Sher.
According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dragon Lee got his visa the day before his debut on NXT television, as he narrowly escaped a huge delay due to visa issues.
Dragon Lee literally got his visa on 3/6 in his hand and then flew himself and his family to Orlando to start on 3/7, and was on the NXT show literally hours after he arrived in Orlando for the first time and worked his first match with the promotion on 3/11 in St. Petersburg against Eddie Thorpe (Karl Fredericks)
WON
At the young age of 18, Dragon Lee began his professional wrestling career. He secured his first championship, the CMLL World Lightweight Championship, in 2015. Throughout his career, he has also achieved the titles of two-time ROH World Television Champion, two-time ROH World Tag Team Champion, and former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion. We’ll have to see how he will fare in NXT, now that Dragon Lee has finally arrived.
