Dragon Lee

Summary

This Intercontinental Championship ladder match was absolute chaos in the best possible way—six guys, one title, and a ring that basically turned into demolition derby. It kicked off at full speed with high-flying offense and immediate ladder spots, but things escalated once Rusev started clearing bodies and tossing people around like lawn furniture. Rey Mysterio brought the vintage fire with a 619 and clever ring awareness, while Dragon Lee and JD McDonagh kept things violent up top, including a wild Spanish Fly off a ladder that had the crowd fully locked in. Je’Von Evans had his breakout “nearly there” moment, climbing the ladder twice and almost stealing the win before getting yanked down at the last second. Rusev looked like he had it sealed after mowing everyone down and slowly climbing, but Evans wiped him out with a massive OG Cutter from the top rope off the ladder in one of the wildest spots of the match. From there, it turned into pure survival mode. Bodies everywhere, ladders wrecked, and Penta finally re-emerging at the perfect time. After surviving multiple finishers—including a brutal Mexican Destroyer on McDonagh off a ladder—Penta capitalized on the chaos, hit another Destroyer on Evans, and climbed to retain his Intercontinental Championship in a legit instant classic.

Summary

This one started exactly like you’d expect with Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee trying to turn it into a sprint from the opening bell. Quick tags, fast angles, and constant motion kept Rusev and JD McDonagh from settling in early. McDonagh did his part to slow things down with smart positioning and taking advantage of brief openings, but the pace still leaned heavily toward Evans and Lee for most of the first stretch. The match really shifted when Rusev finally got extended time in the ring—he didn’t just clean house, he completely changed the tone, blasting through both opponents and cutting off any momentum they had built. But here’s where it flipped in a different direction than expected: despite Rusev’s dominance during that surge, his team didn’t actually close it out. Evans and Lee found their opening late, capitalizing on timing and movement to steal the win in a scramble finish that caught McDonagh out of position while Rusev was still clearing the ring. It was less about outpowering Rusev and more about surviving his run and slipping through the cracks he left behind. And even though Rusev came up on the losing end officially, he didn’t leave it there. After the bell, he snapped—flattening both Evans and Lee with a brutal post-match assault that erased any sense of celebration. The win went to the speed guys, but Rusev walked out looking like the most dangerous person in the match anyway.

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.

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.
