Dragon Lee (born May 15, 1995) is a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand.

Dragon Lee's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans.

A second-generation wrestler, he is best known for his work for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), where he used a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character.

Lee is also known for his work in Ring of Honor (ROH), where he was ROH World Television Champion and ROH World Tag Team Champion with La Faccion Ingobernable teammate Kenny King, and for his work in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), under the name Ryu Lee (リュウ・リー　Ryū Rī), where he is a former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.

Dragon Lee is the son of professional wrestler Arturo Muñoz, known under the ring name La Bestia del Ring, where the family relationship is publicly acknowledged.

He is the second person to use the Dragon Lee ring persona and mask, the first Dragon Lee being his older brother, Carlos, who now wrestles under the ring name Dralístico.

Dragon Lee has another brother, William, who works under the ring name Rush.

The man known under the ring name Dragon Lee was born on May 15, 1995, in Tala, in the Mexican state of Jalisco, son of professional wrestler Arturo Muñoz, who had worked as Toro Blanco, Poder Boriqua, Poder Mexico, and Comandante Pierroth over the years.

Dragon Lee's two older brothers grew up to become professional wrestlers as well, with the oldest of the brothers, William, making his wrestling debut in 2008 and would later become known as "Rush".

Another of Dragon Lee's brothers, Carlos, became a professional wrestler in 2011, adopting the enmascarado (masked) character Dragon Lee initially.

In 2012, the original Dragon Lee was offered the opportunity to take over the Místico character after the original wrestler under the Místico mask left Mexico.

It was public knowledge that Dragon Lee had taken over the Místico character, leaving the mask and character of Dragon Lee behind.

Dragon Lee's uncles are also professional wrestlers, known as Franco Columbo, Pit Bull I, and Pit Bull II, and all had a hand in training Dragon Lee prior to his professional wrestling debut.

At the age of 14, his father took him to Mexico City to start training in amateur wrestling, participating in several wrestling events.

Muñoz began training in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's (CMLL: Spanish for "World Wrestling Council") gym in 2013, working towards a contract to become a regular wrestler for CMLL.

He made his first public appearance as Dragon Lee on November 20, 2013, when he competed in CMLL's 2013 Bodybuilding Contest, winning the beginners category while CMLL regulars Pequeño Olimpico and Stukita took second and third place.

Dragon Lee was voted the 2014 Rookie of the Year by readers of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

He made his in-ring debut for CMLL on January 1, 2014, as part of the 2014 La Copa Junior tournament.

During the match Dragon Lee eliminated Herodes, Jr., but was himself eliminated by Cachorro as the third man eliminated in the tournament that was eventually won by Super Halcón Jr. Dragon Lee was referred to as part of CMLL's Generacion 2014, a group of wrestlers who all made their debut around January 2014 and also included Black Panther, Cachorro, Espiritu Negro, Flyer, Hechicero, El Rebelde and Star Jr.. A month after his CMLL debut Dragon Lee participated in the 2014 Torneo Gran Alternativa ("Great Alternative") tournament, which is an annual a tag team tournament that has a wrestling rookie team up with an experienced wrestler for the tournament.

For the tournament, Dragon Lee teamed up with older brother Rush.

In the first round the brothers defeated Negro Casas and Canelo Casas, then went on to defeat Herodes, Jr. and Shocker in the second round before losing to eventual tournament winners Bárbaro Cavernario and Mr. Niebla in the tournament semi-final.

On March 23, 2014, Dragon Lee was one of 16 wrestlers in a tornero cibernetico (elimination) match, hoping to qualify for one of eight spots in CMLL's annual En Busca de un Ídolo ("In search of an idol") tournament.

Dragon Lee was one of the eight survivors of the match alongside Cachorro, Cavernario, Guerrero Negro Jr.. Hechicero, Star Jr.., Soberano Jr. and Super Halcon Jr. and thus qualified for the actual tournament.

The first round consisted of a round-robin tournament where he wrestled against all other participants.

Following the matches each wrestler was given points by a panel of judges as well as points from an online poll.

On August 25, 2014, it was announced that Dragon Lee would team up with fellow rookie Cachorro for the CMLL 81st Anniversary Show, marking Dragon Lee first appearance at CMLL's Anniversary Shows, the promotion's most important show of the year.

They were scheduled to compete in the first match against the brother-duo of Puma and Tiger.

In April 2015, Dragon Lee won his first professional wrestling title, the CMLL World Lightweight Championship.

In December 2023, Lee won the NXT North American Championship.

Overall, Lee has won 10 total championships between WWE, ROH, AAA, CMLL, and NJPW.

He would also participate in boxing; but, as Dragon Lee recalls in a 2015 interview, during his first match he performed a Suplex (a wrestling throw) on his opponent and was disqualified.

At that point he realized that his future was in Lucha Libre.

In early 2015, Lee started a storyline rivalry with Japanese wrestler Kamaitachi.

The prolonged storyline rivalry culminated on March 20 at the Homenaje a Dos Leyendas ("Homage to Two Wrestlers") show.

The two masked men faced off in a Lucha de Apuestas, or "bet match", with both wrestlers risking their mask on the outcome.

Dragon Lee defeated Kamaitachi two falls to one, forcing his rival to unmask.

In December 2019, Dragon Lee married his fiancée, Lupita Orozco.

The wedding was officiated by Fray Tormenta.

Dragon Lee only defeated Cachorro during the second round, landing him in 3rd place with 198 points.
