He wears a mask. He never reveals his face. And yet, inside a WWE ring, Dragon Lee speaks louder than almost anyone on the roster — not with words, but with a breathtaking style of high-flying, hard-hitting lucha libre that has made him one of the most electrifying performers in professional wrestling today.
A second-generation lucha libre superstar, Dragon Lee has quickly become one of the most electrifying and versatile competitors in WWE, with a unique blend of gravity-defying high-flying maneuvers and technical expertise. Nicknamed “El Niño Maravilla” — The Boy Wonder — his wrestling style is a high-speed, high-flying version of lucha libre where he takes greater risks than most wrestlers, executing moves off the top rope or launching from inside the ring to the outside.

A Legacy Built From The Ground Up
Dragon Lee is a second-generation professional wrestler, the son of Mexican wrestler Arturo Muñoz, who performs under the ring name La Bestia del Ring. Wrestling is in his blood. Both of his older brothers are also professional wrestlers, making this one of the most accomplished wrestling families in Mexico. He trained under his uncles prior to his pro wrestling debut, and at 14, began training as an amateur wrestler before realizing his future was in lucha libre after getting disqualified in his very first amateur match for performing a suplex on his opponent. Even his disqualification told you everything you needed to know about the kind of athlete Dragon Lee would become. SportskeedaSportskeeda
Before arriving in WWE, Dragon Lee had already established himself as a world-class performer across three major promotions. He is the first person to win a championship title in CMLL, ROH, and NJPW. In CMLL, he is a two-time CMLL World Lightweight Champion and a one-time CMLL World Welterweight Champion. In ROH, he is a two-time ROH World Television Champion. SportskeedaWikipedia
Arriving In WWE
He joined WWE in December 2022 and made his on-screen debut on March 7, 2023, at NXT Roadblock. His rise through NXT was swift. After capturing the NXT North American Championship, Dragon Lee proved he was not just another high-flyer — he was a bona fide titleholder, earning his place among the top talents in WWE.

Joining the legendary Latino World Order (LWO), Lee teamed up with icons like Rey Mysterio, embracing the rich history of lucha libre while fighting for respect, unity, and dominance in WWE. The relationship between Lee and Mysterio has been one of the more compelling stories on WWE programming, with the legendary Mysterio openly calling Lee his successor. WWE
Championship Gold On The Main Roster
Dragon Lee’s biggest moment on the main roster came in the fall of 2025. On the October 20 episode of Raw, Lee and AJ Styles won the World Tag Team Championship by defeating The Judgment Day’s Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh. The pairing of the veteran Styles with the explosive Dragon Lee proved to be a winning formula, and the two made for one of the most dynamic tag teams on the roster. Wikipedia
WWE sources reportedly indicated they feel Lee has become a key part of weekly programming, and that they want to lock him into a new contract before he can field other offers — a clear signal of just how highly the company values him. Bleacher Report
What Makes Him Special
At the core of Dragon Lee’s appeal is a finishing arsenal that is as devastating as it is spectacular. One of his signature finishing moves is the “Dragon Driver,” also known as the “Phoenix-Plex” — a bridging package fallaway powerbomb where he lifts his opponent up, hooks their legs in a “package” position, and then falls backwards, slamming them to the ground and holding them for a pinfall.

Dragon Lee is still only in his late twenties, and the best chapters of his WWE story may not yet be written. The mask stays on. The accolades keep coming. And the Boy Wonder keeps soaring.
