Dragon Lee thumb injury impacts WWE and AAA

Overview

Following the July 20 Raw match, Lee confirmed on Instagram while en route to Aguascalientes that a collateral ligament in his thumb had torn. The injury forced him to miss the AAA Verano de Escándalo tapings, prompting the promotion to reshuffle the fatal‑four‑way qualifier for the vacant Latin American Championship. An MRI later verified the tear; Lee said he wants to avoid surgery, which could sideline him for three to four months, though doctors cleared him to compete. He missed the subsequent Raw episode and a planned appearance at Triplemanía 34, where he was removed from the Latin American Championship fatal‑four‑way match. Lee continued to promote WWE’s SummerSlam from Minneapolis, but his ability to wrestle at the event remained uncertain.
