On December 28, 2022, at AAA Noche De Campeones, Dragon Lee announced he would be signing with WWE. It was later quickly confirmed that Lee would report to WWE NXT. On the same night he announced he was heading to WWE, Lee teamed with Dralistico and won the AAA Tag Team Championships from FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler). The titles were then vacated.
