One of the fascinating things about this story is how it all went down at AAA Night of Champions. AAA wrestler Dragon Lee defeated AEW wrestlers FTR for tag team gold and then immediately grabbed a microphone to announce that he’s heading to WWE. If the surreal nature of those words hasn’t quite sunk in, then try to consider an alternate scenario where a AAA wrestler defeats a WWE wrestler for a title and then announces that he’s signing with AEW. It’s hard to imagine that WWE would be cool with that booking decision. Did AEW President Tony Khan know what was going on here?

Another obvious question to consider is why would AAA go ahead and put their tag team championship on a wrestler who is immediately leaving to go work for WWE? One popular speculative theory involves AAA seeking a stronger relationship with WWE going forward, which could perhaps have an adverse effect on their current relationship with AEW.
