Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide Konnan has commented on Dragon Lee’s recent and unexpected decision to leave the company for WWE.
Lee announced his departure from the company at AAA Noche De Campeones, shortly after winning the AA Tag Team Championship from AEW’s FTR.
Shortly afterwards, it was announced that Lee would be appearing on WWE’s NXT brand.
Speaking on his Keepin’ It 100 podcast, Konnan commented on Lee’s choice:
“He just asked me questions and I just gave him advice. I didn’t give him advice on where to sign. He did bring up the fact, and Bandido was in the same dilemma, he wasn’t sure whether to go to WWE or AEW, but Dragon Lee was more like, ‘there are so many people there, I’m just going to get stuck in the fucking….I’m just going to go to WWE.’ He will blow everybody away.
“I don’t see them all (in WWE) and I don’t see it every week, but the last time I watched, which was maybe two or three months ago, there is nobody on his level there (in NXT).”
