Both these young wrestlers have history with each other. Both working in CMLL together. Dragon Lee is only 21 years old. He is the CMLL Lightweight champion. Debuted in 2014. Lee won The Wrestling Observer rookie of the year award in that very year. Some mat wrestling early on. Then both men countering each others holds. Fast paced for sure.

Back in the ring, Dragon Lee rallies. Sends Kamiatachi to the outside and then leaps over the top rope onto him. Dragon then ties up Kamaitachi to the tree of woe but on the outside of the ring. Dragon Lee hits a beautiful double foot stomp on Kamaitachi. What a match so far…. Drago hits a variation of a suplex sit out driver for a near fall. They then battle to the top rope. Kamaitachi is in the tree of woe on the inside of the ring but this time, Lee misses with the foot stomp. Kamiatachi then sends Lee to the outside and does a super senton from the top rope onto Lee.

Back in the ring, Lee hits two straight northern lights suplexes on Kamaitachi and then for the trifecta. Lee hits a variation of the brainbuster that suprisingly only generates a 2 count. Lee whips Kamiatachi into the ropes, Kamaitachi counters Lee and hits a great looking destroyer in mid air for a near fall…. Very innovative offense. Lee and Kamaitachi back to the top rope. Lee hits a double foot stomp and then attempts a power bomb. Kamaitachi reverses and hits a power bomb of his own. Unreal, The delay in covering Lee leads to a 2 count for Kamaitachi. Corino comments that killing the opponent may be an option in order for a victory to take place.

Hard strikes in the center of the ring. Lee tries to and hits an awkward looking Phoenix plex on Kamaitachi and pins him. Very good match faltered by it’s finish but Dragon Lee has a bright future ahead of him. If he can stay healthy, that is. He looks the part and plays it well.

KYLE O’REILLY VS HANGMAN PAGE

Some chain wrestling to start. Good change of pace after the last match. Action picks up when Kyle O’Reilly dangerously hits the edge of the apron with his neck when Page gives him a neckbreaker.
