CMLL’s DRAGON LEE vs KAMAITACHI

One of the most buzz-worthy rivalries in professional wrestling is coming to ROH! Since his debut, KAMAITACHI has electrified Ring of Honor with his fearless style. For fans previously unfamiliar with this phenomenal young athlete, he may have come as a complete surprise. And many wondered about his history prior to his recent ROH appearances.

As part of his NJPW Young Lion “excursion,” Kamaitachi traveled to Mexico where he spent several years competing for CMLL. This immersive experience shaped his style we see today, and it also ignited his heated rivalry with DRAGON LEE! Kamataichi began his career in Mexico wearing a mask. But the reason his face is revealed today is because of Dragon Lee. These two gravity-defying athletes battled in unforgettable encounters, culminating in a “Luchas de Apuestas” with masks wagered. Kamaitachi lost and was forced to unmask, revealing himself as the former NJPW Young Lion.

Dragon Lee and Kamaitachi would reignite their feud in January, this time over the CMLL World Lightweight Championship. Kamataichi defeated Dragon Lee for the gold, but in time the former champion won back his title. Dragon Lee remains the current CMLL World Lightweight Champion and the issues between these two are far from settled.

Ring of Honor is about to witness absolutely unforgettable athleticism and excitement on September 30th when KAMAITACHI VS. DRAGON LEE comes to America! Whether you’ve followed this rivalry before or are seeing them for the first time, this is a rare opportunity for a live experience in lucha libre excellence. Don’t miss your chance to be there for this and an entire night of ROH action!
