Dragon Lee (born May 15, 1995) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the Raw brand and is a member of the Latino World Order. He is the current WWE Speed Champion in his first reign and is a former one-time NXT North American Champion. Dragon Lee's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.[2]
A second-generation wrestler, he is best known for his work for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), where he used a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character. Lee is also known for his work in Ring of Honor (ROH), where he was ROH World Television Champion and ROH World Tag Team Champion with La Faccion Ingobernable teammate Kenny King, and for his work in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), under the name Ryu Lee (リュウ・リー Ryū Rī),[3] where he is a former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.
Dragon Lee is the son of professional wrestler Arturo Muñoz, known under the ring name La Bestia del Ring, where the family relationship is publicly acknowledged. He is the second person to use the Dragon Lee ring persona and mask, the first Dragon Lee being his older brother, Carlos, who now wrestles under the ring name Dralístico. Dragon Lee has another brother, William, who works under the ring name Rush. Dragon Lee was voted the 2014 Rookie of the Year by readers of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. In April 2015, Dragon Lee won his first professional wrestling title, the CMLL World Lightweight Championship. In December 2023, Lee won the NXT North American Championship. Overall, Lee has won 10 total championships between WWE, ROH, AAA, CMLL, and NJPW.
