Dragon Lee hasn’t been seen for a long time now

Dragon Lee has been absent from WWE programming for some weeks, and he has revealed why.

Lee, the current WWE Speed Champion, last competed during a WWE Main Event taping on December 16th. He hasn’t been on WWE RAW since the November 25th taping, when he and Rey Mysterio fell to Brutus and Julius Creed.

Dragon Lee addressed his absence on Instagram stories, explaining that his wife is expecting and will give birth shortly.

“Hey everyone!,” he said. “Hope y’all are doing well. I don’t usually share my personal stuff, but I want to grab my phone and do it today because I am happy and anxious because in a few days I will hold in my hands my new princess that is on the way. She could (arrive) today, tomorrow, the day after, this weekend or even next week but she is coming, so I am very excited to receive my second princess, well actually third counting my first child and my wife.

“That’s been the reason why I have not been at work recently, I have been helping my wife but you will see a stronger Dragon Lee and giving my best as I always do inside that ring soon. Sending hugs to everyone!”

Dragon Lee signed with WWE in late 2022, but he had to wait until April the following year to make his in-ring debut.

Lee went on to contend for the NXT Championship, finally earning the North American Title by defeating Dominik Mysterio. Although he lost the gold to Oba Femi, the defeat confirmed Lee’s place on the main roster, and he remained on SmackDown before being recruited to Raw.

During this time, he officially joined the LWO and has remained a member ever since, but he has not been seen on WWE TV after that.
