Dragon Lee picks up first WWE win after former star returns

NXT Superstar Dragon Lee picked up his first win in WWE against Nathan Frazer after Noam Dar returned on the latest episode of the show.

Dragon Lee was one of the biggest prospects to sign with NXT in recent months. Despite signing several weeks ago, Lee didn't make his debut until NXT Stand & Deliver, where he competed in the Fatal Five-way match for the NXT North American Championship.

Following that loss, Lee was scheduled to face Nathan Frazer on tonight's episode of NXT. Given the in-ring skills of both men, this match was highly anticipated.

Before the match could begin, Noam Dar appeared through the crowd with his NXT UK Heritage Cup. He said that he would decide if there was anyone good enough to challenge him for the cup. He then asked Lee and Frazer to start their match while he sat at ringside.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
