WWE is planning to offer Dragon Lee a new contract

The latest performances by Dragon Lee could have opened an even more important door for him within WWE. According to PWInsider, several executives of the company were very impressed with the Mexican's performance during his match for the AAA Megachampionship, and they have already started internal discussions to offer him a new contract extension before his current contract expires next year.

The match in Mexico was very well received by both fans and the company itself, which believes that Lee demonstrated being in a great professional moment. Although he didn't win the title, his performance elevated his status within the brand and reinforced his international image as one of the most complete talents on the current roster.

Dragon Lee signed with WWE in 2022, and after an uneven adaptation period, he has been gaining prominence. Last week, he won the WWE Tag Team Championships alongside AJ Styles on Raw, an achievement that confirmed his rise. However, it was his match against Dominik Mysterio that finally convinced top management that he is a key piece for the long term.

Internal sources assure that WWE wants to secure his continuity as soon as possible, aware that his international projection could attract interest from other companies if his contract were to expire without renewal. The idea is to keep him as a regular figure on television and enhance his presence in future global collaborations.
