WrestleMania XL has left an indelible mark in WWE history, showcasing charming narratives and stellar performances from an array of superstars.
However, one notable absence from the grand event was former NXT North American Champion Dragon Lee, who missed his scheduled appearance due to a backstage assault.
Originally slated to team up with Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio in a tag team clash against Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio, Lee was sidelined following the attack, prompting former US Champion Andrade to step in as Rey’s partner.
Taking to social media, Lee expressed his frustration, questioning the identity of his assailant and lamenting the missed opportunity at WrestleMania.
“Someone took away my chance at WrestleMania! Who did it?”
Lee posted on his X account, seeking answers.
Alguien me quito mi oportunidad para wrestlemania.!

The list of potential suspects includes Dominik Mysterio, with whom Lee shares a tumultuous history, marked by a heated rivalry during their NXT days.
Additionally, speculation arises around Carlito, a member of the Latino World Order, who faced disappointment when Rey Mysterio opted for Lee over him as his WrestleMania partner.
Furthermore, Carlito’s involvement is fueled by his prior revelation to Rey about Lee’s assault by Santos Escobar, coupled with his visible reaction to Rey’s decision to team with Andrade instead.
As the WWE Universe awaits developments, all eyes are on Carlito’s actions in the coming weeks, amidst lingering suspicions surrounding his possible role in Lee’s backstage attack.
