WWE has released a number of names this year, but the company has also been locking down talent. Cody Rhodes recently confirmed that he signed a new deal with WWE, and now it seems that another former champion will be with the company for years to come.
PWInsider is reporting that Dragon Lee recently signed a new contract with World Wrestling Entertainment. The length of the deal hasn’t been confirmed, but the belief is that Dragon Lee signed a five year deal.
Dragon Lee originally signed a three year deal with WWE in 2022. He then later signed an extenstion when he was called up to the WWE main roster in 2023. His deal was set to expire this month before he signed a new contract with WWE.
Since signing with WWE, Dragon Lee has won the NXT North American Championship, WWE Speed Championship and last year he won the WWE World Tag Team Championship alongside AJ Styles.
Currently Dragon Lee is on the Monday Night Raw brand and he has been focused recently on the Intercontinental Championship. During this week’s episode of Raw, Dragon Lee faced off against Chad Gable and Rey Mysterio in a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Championship which ultimately saw Gable retain.
