Dragon Lee debuted in January 2014 as a participant in the CMLL La Copa Junior Torneo Cibernetico at the Arena Mexico, he quickly became one of the fan favorites mainly for his spectacular high-flying moves. he was even named Rookie of the Year by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. In 2015 he had a feud with the Japanese Kamaitachi, reaching Mask vs. Mask Match at Homenaje a Dos Leyendas 2015, thus revealing the identity of today’s NJPW superstar Hiromu Takahashi.
