When it comes to pure talent there's no denying that Dragon Lee is one of the most exciting prospects in the business right now. He's someone who is wowing audiences currently with his performances, but WWE doesn't have a great history of making masked luchador wrestlers the main event.

While Rey Mysterio has been able to achieve that, others have been unable to follow in their footsteps. That's why it is hard to imagine Lee becoming a main event World Champion by the time his career is done, but he should finish having had an impressive career.
