Great talent but i just feel he would be a better fit for AEW then WWE which despite new personel backstage and all,there will still be doubts as to weither they will use him proplery or not. They wasted Hideo Itami, Kushida and Sarray is AWOL who is wasting away even more under Hunter. Lee was in AEW... for one night. His own brother (Rush) turned on him for no reason and unmasked him. There was no follow up whatsoever, because Tony Khan booking. 2 or 3 years ago I would have said a luchador would have a much better chance in AEW than WWE. But with AEW's erratic booking and now you see them, now you don't appearances from their wrestlers, I'm not so sure. A shame we never got Dragon Lee vs. Rey Fenix.

There was no follow up whatsoever, because Tony Khan booking. Uh, there was no follow-up because Lee was never under contract. He was brought in as a babyface to be part of a trio with his heel brother, take the fall for the team, and get over how vile Rush is by having him go after his own little brother. Now, whether AEW had a chance to sign him there and blew it in negotiations or something? I've got no idea, since there's no word on how any potential negotiations may have gone. I know Lee was brought in for one of the ROH PPVs after Khan bought the company where he and Rush had a singles match, but going by the way he was utilized it sure sounds like it was a quick deal for a few shows and that was that. I've seen a few people tossing around the "AEW blew it by booking Lee badly" card, but given that the guy was pretty clearly never under contract and booked to get his brother over, that tells me that for whatever reason there wasn't a successful negotiation in the first place.

Right, like I am sure the parties talked, but if WWE was also interested, maybe he just got offered more there, or liked the idea of going to an environment where RUSH wouldn't be someone he'd have to compete with for a spot. Hell, maybe he just wants to probably get to work with Rey. Lot of reasons he could make the call he did.

Outside of the co-branded shows like Forbidden Door, the guest workers almost always lose in AEW. It's almost what happens in every promotion except for when they think putting a belt on a popular guest worker (who is committed to more than just one or two matches, mind you) will get a huge boost in business. Or if you're AAA and your championships and who holds them just don't matter.

I'm surprised he didn't sign with AEW given his dad, Keith, already works there Well, now he gets to work with his cousin, Wes. They should form a stable in honor of their aunt, Sara

Again, thought it was weird they would pass on Dralistico if he tried out Either way both seem to be getting good opportunities now so good for them

I just googled him, and dude wears the tiniest pair of battle underwear I’ve ever seen. Watch some of his matches man, I'm sure there are some online, even his AEW one He is the real deal How does that change the fact that he wears tiny underwear?

My biggest worry for him (beyond what they change his name to) is what shitty theme the severely untalented Def Rebel are going to give him.

Unless the name is truly awful. On some Lift Sawyer, Kassius Ohno type shit, whatever name they pick should be a lateral move from Dragon Lee

I'm guessing someone else will get the Dragon Lee name in Mexico. Hell, he's the second Dragon Lee. Dralistico was the first.
Maybe he'll be Sin Cara III lol.
