A member of the WWE NXT roster has been announced for a title match next week on Raw.
Sep 19, 2023
Last night's WWE Raw saw the confirmation of the latest NXT Superstar to make their in-ring debut on the main roster.
Dragon Lee was twice seen on last night's Raw, once in the crowd for a match involving Dominik Mysterio, and later getting into a confrontation with Dominik in Adam Pearce's office. Next week will see a match between the two for Dominik's NXT North American Championship, which he won from Wes Lee in July despite being a main roster Superstar.
He has since defended the title in bouts such as a triple threat match at NXT Great American Bash against Lee and Mustafa Ali, as well as a singles match on Raw against Sami Zayn.
Next week will be Dragon Lee's first match on the WWE main roster, although he has considerable experience elsewhere in the wrestling world, having appeared on pay-per-views and held championships in promotions such as NJPW, ROH, CMLL and AAA.
Dominik is not the only current main roster star to hold NXT gold, with Becky Lynch recently defeating Tiffany Stratton for the NXT Women's Championship.
