Dragon Lee Signing With WWE is Bad for AEW



Last night at AAA’s AAA Noche de Campeones, Dragon Lee and his brother Dralistico beat FTR for the AAA World Tag Team Titles. The big news is that Dragon Lee announced his signing with WWE after the match. He vacated the Tag Team Titles after winning them with his brother. 


Many fans and industry insiders had speculated that Dragon Lee would be a great asset for AEW. His other brother, AEW star RUSH signed with AEW full time recently. It’s been speculated that Dragon Lee would be joining his big brother.  And his decision to join WWE instead is seen as a potential blow to their rival promotion. 





Dragon Lee, is a Mexican professional wrestler who has made a name for himself in the world of Lucha Libre. He is a former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion and a two-time CMLL World Lightweight Champion amongst other accolades. 


He made himself known to American audiences when wrestling for Ring of Honor. In ROH, he won the TV Title and Tag Team Titles. His high-flying, high-energy style has made him a fan favorite in Mexico and around the world.




With his signing, WWE has added yet another talented and popular wrestler to its roster, and fans are excited to see what he can do on the grand stage of WWE. He’ll be reporting to NXT and he could make himself into a household name. WWE has been looking for the next Rey Mysterio for years and Dragon Lee could very well fit that roll. 


Overall, the signing of Dragon Lee is a big win for WWE and a bad thing for AEW. If Dragon Lee lives up to his potential and gets over with the American audience, this may be a huge win for WWE in the battle with AEW. 


Let me know your thoughts on the signing over on Twitter. Huge signing for WWE.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

     Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving  WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent

The State of Professional Wrestling - 11-29-21

     I have a lot of thoughts on the state of professional wrestling in 2021. I think it’s great that AEW is around now and that they’re presenting a great product. I think WWE has the potential not be really boring but I think the consensus is that most of the time it’s just a really boring show. I cannot tell you the last time I sat through a 3 hour Raw. Oh wait, yes I can. September, 9th, 2013 and that’s only because I was at the damn show.       WWE has a problem with stagnation. The product continually feels the same and I think there’s an obvious reason for that. WWE is too scripted. I think there’s a noticeable difference in the presentation between WWE and AEW. AEW feels like a legitimate sports show and WWE feels like broadway theatre without the music. I don’t think it’s a problem with the talent. When you go top-down, guys like Roman Reigns, Big E, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy and Kevin Owens are all main event players.

Several AEW Releases Reported

PWInsider additionally reported that The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) and Anthony Henry have also been released.   We have word on several All Elite Wrestling releases. On Monday, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported Dasha Kuret, Stu Grayson, Jose the Assistant, Jora Johl, Gravity, Slim J and Parker Boudreaux have been released.  In addition to Sean’s announcements, PWInsider reported the release of The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) and Anthony Henry. PWInsider also notes that AEW is "evaluating their talent roster and making cuts to benefit both the company and the talents."  This is the second time Stu Grayson has been released from the company. Maybe the third time in the future will be the charm.  I wonder what happens to Parker Boudreaux. He has the look of a future World Heavyweight Cha
