During the most recent episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, WWE’s Dragon Lee spoke on being unmasked by Gunther, the ladder match for the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania 42 and teaming with AJ Styles.
On Gunther pulling off his mask: (March 2nd WWE Raw)
“I know, it’s a culture. This is for respect of our culture, you have to always cover your face. You will not see any wrestler in Mexico showing the face, but that was tough. Actually, was some of my best matches I ever had. Gunther is a great wrestler, but I need to wrestle with him again, because after that, I didn’t have a chance to wrestle him again. I hope I can get my second opportunity; it means so much. When he takes off my mask, it’s not respectful. Yes, many pictures on social media, but it’s not my real face, because I was covered. You can’t see my face. I’m handsome, no worries!”
On the photo that went viral with himself, Rey Mysterio and Penta all not wearing masks:
“That’s actually Rey Mysterio. He posted, and I never expected [the reaction]. Well, Rey has a million followers, so I expected that would be viral, but not like that. But we just cover our face. I feel like it’s a nice picture with memories.”
On the Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match at WrestleMania 42:
“I’ve never wrestled in a ladder match. I don’t like it. Because, honestly, I thought that the ladder would be a little bit kind of gimmicked. But I want everyone to know that the ladder was real. I was just trying to try something, what can I do here that’s crazy? I just grabbed the ladder right away, I caught my arm, and I hit my leg, and I was like it’s so heavy. And yes, it’s strong, man.”
If climbing the ladder in the ring is difficult:
“It’s weird, you know. I want to tell you this: all my neighbors, they just sent me a text, even my family, ‘Be careful.’ Because at Christmas I fell off the ladder putting up Christmas lights.”
On how he got paired with AJ Styles:
“What a nice story. He’s so nice. Being a champion with him is another thing that I want to say, he really pushed me to the next level. I’m very grateful to him, because I learned from him in general. As a man, the way he is as a father, and when we became champions, that moment when we grab the titles. He just grabbed me like this and crossed the title, wake up, yes, we won. I was like, what a moment.”
On winning the World Tag Tag Team Titles with Styles and the name they were given:
“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...Yeah, AJ Lee, right? Yeah, it was fun. We didn’t have enough time to create a name, but I pitched this name, and I think it would have been so great, the Phenomenal Dragons. I feel like that name would be so great, Phenomenal Dragons. AJ Styles has his logo, I said this logo becomes like kind of like a dragon around it, something we can do. But I didn’t realize that he wouldn’t have enough time, he would be retired, nobody expected it.”

Lee also talks on learning English, NXT, The Undertaker’s motorcycle and more!
