Dragon Lee, a notable NXT star, is set to have his maiden in-ring appearance on SmackDown in the forthcoming episode. He is slated to face Austin Theory, stemming from their recent altercation at ringside during this week’s show.
Lee was noticeably present in the front row during the episode and found himself in a heated exchange with Theory after Theory’s swift victory over Cameron Grimes. Subsequently, Dragon Lee attempted to intervene and help the LWO during their clash with Bobby Lashley and The Street Profits but was halted by event security.
There’s also buzz about a potential six-man tag match featuring Lee, Rey Mysterio, and Santos Escobar taking on Lashley and The Street Profits at Fastlane. Although WWE hasn’t officially announced this match yet.
Inside sources suggest that WWE executives are quite impressed with Dragon Lee, viewing him as a vital asset to the main roster. With his significant presence on both NXT and Raw, it’s logical to see him now making waves on SmackDown. His upcoming match against Theory will surely be a testament to how invested Triple H and the creative team are in promoting the masked wrestler.
