While speaking to Baby Huey on the In The Kliq podcast, NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio spoke about rival Dragon Lee, offering up as to whether or not he is intimidated by the luchador:
Now, I wouldn’t say I’m intimidated by Dragon Lee. You know, I’ve dealt with guys like Dragon Lee my entire life growing up in this Lucha Libre style of wrestling, especially someone who’s trying to be like my dad. So, you can say I have some experience with it. So, I don’t think I’m intimidated by him at all. I’ve already beaten him. Unfortunately, he has also had a victory over me, but it was a fluke victory. I have a clean victory over him. So, I don’t think I’m really intimidated by it, and I see myself walking out still the NXT North American Champion.

I don’t think there will ever be the next Rey Mysterio. Not because he’s my dad, but because the Mysterio that matters is me. I’m the one out here putting the Mysterio name on my back and taking the NXT North American Title to literally all of North America, which is Canada, Mexico, and the United States. No one’s ever done that. So the fact that I’m main eventing all three shows in one week, literally the main event of Raw every week. There is no ‘next Rey Mysterio’, I’m the only Mysterio that matters, plain and simple.
Dragon Lee has performed for the likes of CMLL, AAA, and ROH before eventually being signed by WWE in 2022.
