Dragon Lee will not be alone for his title match.
Over the weekend at NXT Great American Bash, with assistance from WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio bested Mustafa Ali and Wes Lee to retain the North American Championship.
Mysterio and Ripley were present on the 8/1 NXT on USA Network and interrupting their in-ring segment was Dragon Lee. Lee issued a challenge to Dominik for 8/8 and Mysterio agreed to put his title on the line.
Ripley stated that she’ll be in Dominik’s corner and then Dragon Lee added that he will not be alone either. He passed it over to a video from Rey Mysterio, who stated that he’ll be at next week’s show to corner Dragon Lee for the title match.

Rey appeared on NXT TV in early 2022 and helped Dominik fend off his now-fellow L.W.O. stable-mates, Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro.
