Rey Mysterio looks to even the odds in Dragon Lee’s upcoming championship match on NXT.
Fresh off of a successful North American Championship defence at The Great American Bash, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley gloated about the victory on the August 1st episode.
The celebrations were short lived, as Dragon Lee interrupted Dom and Mami. Lee stated that Dominik is not the greatest luchador of all time, with that honour being bestowed upon Dominik’s father Rey.
Lee then demanded a shot at the title, which was accepted by Mysterio. As Ripley stated that she would be at ringside, Lee revealed that he had backup of his own.
The cameras then cut to the big screen to show a pre-recorded message from Rey Mysterio, who stated that he would have the best seat in the house for the upcoming title match.
The line-up for the August 8th episode of NXT is as follows:
- “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio (with Rhea Ripley) vs. Dragon Lee (with Rey Mysterio) – Singles match for the North American Championship
- Bron Breakker vs. Von Wagner
- Noam Dar vs. Tyler Bate – Heritage Cup match
- Mustafa Ali vs. Axiom
