Dragon Lee

Los Americanos

Summary

This one started off pretty grounded with Dragon Lee and Bravo Americano trading control and feeling each other out, but that didn’t last long once the blind tags kicked in and the pace picked up. Rayo Americano caught Lee off guard, Je’Von Evans fired back with a neckbreaker and quick offense, and El Grande Americano briefly swung momentum with a kick to the face, but Evans immediately reset things with a diving crossbody that got everyone moving again. The match really took off with the dive sequence, as Evans launched over the top onto Rayo, Lee followed with a suicide dive on Bravo, and Penta topped it with a clean tope con hilo on Americano before all three stood tall. After the break, it turned into a nonstop sequence fest, with Penta running through a reverse sling blade, a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, and a double DDT, while Lee nearly put it away with a Styles Clash before constant interference kept saving Los Americanos. The closing stretch didn’t slow down at all, with superkicks flying, Lee hitting a hurricanrana to the floor, and Penta dropping Rayo with a nasty Mexican Destroyer on the apron that felt like the real turning point. From there, Evans sealed it with a wild OG Cutter on Bravo for the win, capping off a match that was chaotic, fast, and just barely holding together in the best way.

Champion Retains

Summary

Penta defended the Intercontinental Championship against Dragon Lee in a fast-paced match that lived up to expectations from two of the most explosive luchadors in WWE. Dragon Lee came out aggressive, hitting an early hurricanrana and several high-impact kicks, while Penta answered with superkicks, a double stomp, and a Penta Driver that Lee managed to kick out of. The action spilled to the outside with Lee launching a corkscrew suicide dive and later connecting with Operation Dragon, but Penta refused to stay down. The closing stretch turned into a rapid exchange of counters until Penta finally ducked a running elbow, hit the ropes, and nailed the Mexican Destroyer. That was enough to put Dragon Lee away and give Penta a clean, decisive title defense.

Summary

Dragon Lee didn't wait for the match to start. He attacked Gunther during his entrance and the two brawled as we went to commercial. The match started during the commercial break, and this was a fiery start to RAW. Dragon Lee had a passion and drive that he rarely shows. He matched Gunther's brutality and persistance for much of the match. Two two traded powerful clotheslines, and chops. The battle went to the outside on several occasions, and led to some big spots. Gunther sent Dragon Lee into the announce table with a massive power bomb and Dragon Lee countered a power bomb with a sunset flip that sent Gunther smashing to the ground. It looked like either man could win by count out on separate occasions, but in the end, Gunther ripped of Dragon Lee's mask while sinking in the sleeper hold which led to a quick tap out from the Luchadore.

Reigns ultimately survived the fray by spearing Gunther, eliminating him over the top rope to win his second career Royal Rumble and punch his WrestleMania main event ticket.
