MLW has announced Dragon Lee’s opponent for his debut!

We’re less than two weeks away now from Major League Wrestling’s next events, Never Say Never on December 13th and Zero Hour on December 14th in Miami, its next two sets of Fusion television tapings (Zero Hour will be broadcast live).

There are already a number of big matches scheduled for both shows, on top of the MLW debut of the reigning CMLL World Lightweight Champion Dragon Lee (see that announcement here), but we had yet to hear who his opponent would be for either date. That is until now as MLW has revealed that at Never Say Never, Dragon Lee’s opposition is now set as he will go one-on-one with Rich Swann:

MIAMI – Major League Wrestling today announced Dragón Lee’s opponent for his first night in an MLW ring. For the first time ever Dragón Lee vs. Rich Swann will take place and you can see it live in just 13 days. The bout is a featured match on Thursday night December 13th MLW: Never Say Never cardat the Miami Scottish Rite Temple.

Both December 13 & 14th cards are FUSION TV tapings for beIN SPORTS. Tickets are available starting at $15 at MLWTickets.com.

Dragón Lee, the reigning CMLL World Lightweight Champion is considered by fans, the Mexican press and luchadores as one of if not the best high–flying luchador in the sport.  

Dizzying opponents with moves like the Dragon Driver, Operación Dragón and La Lanza, this técnico is the latest top ranked wrestler to enter MLW as part of the league’s 2019 roster reload, an initiative to give fans fresh and exciting big matches.

One of Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre’s most popular luchadores, Dragón Lee fits MLW’s hybrid wrestling vision, being able to blend his fighting base of lucha with strong style, having competed extensively in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
