Meanwhile, Trick Williams will defend the United States Championship against Baron Corbin in a Steel Cage Match on SmackDown after winning the title from Corbin.
Dragon Lee's Trademark Move Doesn't Signal Departure
The registration of the "Hermanos Lee" trademark by Dragon Lee and Dralistico sparked rumors about a potential exit. However, backstage expectations suggest this is purely a business move. WWE is reportedly not alarmed about losing Lee despite his contract nearing renewal.
Lee's value to WWE stems from his recent work. He's a former world tag team champion who has competed in major matches against Chad Gable and Penta for the Intercontinental Championship. His involvement in WrestleMania and high-profile bouts with AJ Styles have made him a fixture in WWE's main roster plans.
WWE Prioritizes AAA Over TNA Partnership
WWE's expanding relationship with AAA appears to be a major reason for keeping Lee on the roster. The company is shifting its international focus away from TNA and toward AAA, the Mexican promotion. This strategic pivot makes Lee especially valuable given his lucha heritage and ties to AAA talent.
The move reflects WWE's broader creative direction. Lee's ability to work with both AAA-style wrestlers and WWE's roster makes him a bridge between the two companies. His recent matches showcase his importance to upcoming storylines and potential inter-promotional angles.
CM Punk's Money in the Bank Path Remains Uncertain
CM Punk's participation in the Money in the Bank qualifying match against Gunther and Finn Balor hangs in the balance, Fightful reports. Matthew Rehwoldt, a former WWE wrestler known as Aiden English, predicted that Balor will defeat both opponents to advance to the ladder match.
Winning would guarantee Punk a shot at the world title and create potential future scenarios involving Kevin Owens or Sami Zayn. Currently, Bron Breakker, Je'Von Evans, Trick Williams, and Penta have qualified for the 2026 Men's Money in the Bank Ladder Match, leaving two spots still undecided.
Williams Faces Corbin in Steel Cage Rematch
