Dragon Lee’s WrestleMania Dream Just Got A Shoutout From The Last Place Fans Expected
Family ties in professional wrestling often run deeper than any storyline, and a recent moment between AEW stars and a WWE standout is proving just that.
Ahead of what will be a career-defining moment at WrestleMania 42, WWE’s Dragon Lee is set to compete in his first-ever match on wrestling’s biggest stage. The high-flying luchador will enter the Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match later this month, sharing the ring with names like Penta, JD McDonagh, Je’Von Evans, and Rusev.
But before he steps through those ropes, two familiar faces from a rival promotion made sure to show their support.
AEW’s Rush and Dralistico, who are Dragon Lee’s real-life brothers, took to social media to publicly congratulate him on achieving another lifelong dream. Their messages weren’t just polite—they were deeply personal.
Rush shared a photo of the two of them holding their respective ROH championships and wrote with visible pride:
“You are about to fulfill another dream. Proud of you. You deserve everything, hermano. I love you.”
Dralistico followed with a similar sentiment, posting images of the brothers with championship gold and saying:
“Huge congratulations, brother, for another dream fulfilled in your career. I love you, bro. You deserve it. I’m proud of you.”
Dragon Lee responded to Rush with a message that hinted at the years of sacrifice behind the scenes:
“Brother! Thank you so much, you know how hard I’ve worked on those!! I love you, you’ll always be my example.”
The moment stands out not only for its genuine emotion but also for the rare crossover acknowledgment between AEW and WWE talent during one of the busiest times of the wrestling calendar.
Dragon Lee has been on a steady climb since signing with WWE in late 2022. He has already held the NXT North American Championship, the WWE Speed Championship, and—just last October—secured his first main roster title alongside AJ Styles as WWE Tag Team Champion.
Now, he’s set for his WrestleMania debut. The Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match came together following this week’s Raw, where Penta retained his title against Kofi Kingston before announcing the multi-man showdown. Qualifying matches reportedly took place on Main Event, with Dragon Lee earning his spot by defeating Grayson Waller.
While the rivalry between AEW and WWE often dominates headlines, this moment served as a reminder that for some families, loyalty to each other will always outweigh company loyalty.
And for Dragon Lee, heading into the biggest match of his career, the support from his brothers—even from across the wrestling divide—says more than any promo ever could.
