On Wednesday night, Dragon Lee announced that he is headed to WWE.
WWE would soon confirm that the Mexican luchador has indeed signed with the company, and would be going to NXT in January.
Triple H has since taken to Twitter to react to Dragon Lee’s WWE signing. He hailed Lee as an “unbelievable athlete” and hyped up his impending debut in the company. He wrote,
“An unbelievable athlete who has collected accolades and held championships across the globe… and he’s just getting started. The next chapter of @dragonlee95’s career begins with WWE NXT!”

Back in August, Dragon Lee opened up about potentially getting the opportunity to work in WWE. At the time, he said:
“I think I can become the new Rey Mysterio in WWE. I just need the opportunity. [Finn Balor] told me, ‘Would you like to be in WWE?’ [laughs]. I said, ‘Yeah, sure. Why not?’ … It was something special for me. It’s my challenge to learn more about promos. You will never finish learning in pro wrestling. But every time you wrestle, you learn. But about promos, it’s something new for me. I would like to learn something new, how to become not just a wrestler — an artist.”
