Dragon Lee Reflects On Gunther Pulling Off His Mask During WWE Raw Match

Dragon Lee ended up trending online after Gunther pulled off his mask during a match on WWE Raw, and Lee has shared his thoughts on the moment. The match took place on the March 2nd episode of Raw, with Lee seeking revenge against Gunther after the latter retired AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble.

The match came to an end when Gunther removed Dragon Lee’s mask while Lee was in a sleeper hold. The camera angle briefly caught Lee’s face, which led to it going viral online. Lee reflected on the moment in an interview on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. You can see the highlights below:

On Gunther Pulling His Mask Off In the Match:

“I know, it’s a culture. This is for respect of our culture, you have to always cover your face. You will not see any wrestler in Mexico showing the face, but that was tough. Actually, was some of my best matches I ever had. Gunther is a great wrestler, but I need to wrestle with him again, because after that, I didn’t have a chance to wrestle him again. I hope I can get my second opportunity; it means so much. When he takes off my mask, it’s not respectful. Yes, many pictures on social media, but it’s not my real face, because I was covered. You can’t see my face. I’m handsome, no worries!”

“That’s actually Rey Mysterio. He posted, and I never expected [the reaction]. Well, Rey has a million followers, so I expected that would be viral, but not like that. But we just cover our face. I feel like it’s a nice picture with memories.”
