Dragon Lee says that the WWE Intercontinental Championship match against Penta could have been a match‑of‑the‑year contender if they had been given more time.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Lee first voiced similar frustration about the limited duration of his tag‑team bout with AJ Styles versus Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater.
“I wish we would have had more time. It would have been awesome,”
He then pointed to his Intercontinental Championship match with Penta as another contest that would have benefited from additional time.
“Even my match with Penta for the Intercontinental Championship— we didn’t have so much time.
“But I would say, if we would have had more time, I’m telling you, brother, that would have been the best match of the year.”
Lee attributed their shared Mexican wrestling background to the chemistry displayed during the match.
“I’m sure. Penta is so great, and I think that connection between Mexicans is great, man.”
Lee expressed satisfaction that Mexican wrestlers and lucha libre are receiving greater visibility across WWE and AAA.
“I feel good that they are pushing more of the Mexicans now—Fenix and AAA, too.
“It is in good hands now. You are still free to do crazy stuff if you want. You’re free to be a wrestler—a luchador. You’re still a luchador. You don’t have to change anything.”
