“And again, Dragon Lee’s another guy who went to Triple A, they weren’t really doing much with him. He wasn’t getting the opportunities he wanted on Raw and SmackDown. Went to Triple A, pun heavily intended, set the world on fire, and the WWE officials went, ‘Hey, maybe we can put that guy in the Intercontinental Championship picture,’ or, ‘Let’s give Dragon Lee a bit more of a showcase.’ And it’s worked,” said Graves.

Dragon Lee and AJ Styles had a brief run as World Tag Team Champions last year. Styles retired from in-ring competition following his loss to Gunther at Royal Rumble 2026.

Dragon Lee comments on working with AJ Styles ahead of his WWE retirement

WWE RAW star Dragon Lee recently opened up about his time as AJ Styles’ tag team partner.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on the INSIGHT podcast, Lee stated that he was honored to be a part of The Phenomenal One’s last run in the company. The former champion also revealed that he was proud of himself for getting to team up with Styles during his final months in the ring.

“I feel honored to be part of his last matches, and even John Cena’s last match [event], I was part of that too. I feel like you know so many things that I’m proud of myself, you know, because if you’re not, if you don’t recognize yourself, who else will? You just look at the mirror and say, ‘You’re doing well, keep working. I’m proud of you, brother. Keep working.’ My family, that’s it, that’s all the energy I need.” said Lee [H/T: INSIGHT]

It will be interesting to see if WWE has anything substantial planned for Dragon Lee in the weeks ahead on RAW.
