WWE NXT North American Champion Dragon Lee is included in Masked Republic’s new merchandise line and some details have come to light regarding the deal.
Dragon Lee has become one of the fastest-rising superstars in WWE. He gained massive popularity in a short period of time and most recently captured the NXT North American Championship by defeating Dominik Mysterio at NXT Deadline.
Meanwhile, Masked Republic recently announced a new merchandise & apparel line with Mad Engine last week which is around their Cinelucha brand. It is available on Amazon and it’s worth noting that it includes a licensed Dragon Lee T-Shirt.
As Lee is signed to WWE, some fans might wonder how the deal is possible as WWE doesn’t allow to sell the superstar merch through a third party.
Dragon Lee has a unique WWE deal
It has come to light via PWInsider that the new Dragon Lee merch was approved by WWE as part of Masked Republic’s Lucha Libre Agency negotiating Lee’s WWE contract.
Last year, in a press release it was mentioned that The Lucha Libre Agency negotiated WWE agreement for Dragon Lee.
It contained unique terms that would allow Lee to continue with his contracted Legends of Lucha Libre officially licensed products from parent company Masked Republic.
Additionally, it would allow him to continue with entertainment projects which included starring in the forthcoming middle-grade book series from Future House Publishing in which he and his brothers will be featured as monster-fighting luchadors.
Masked Republic has also been quite busy helping a number of international stars secure work visas so they can perform for top promotions such as WWE, AEW, and other promotions.
As Dragon Lee continues to garner more fans, he was also spotted exchanging masks with a fan. Read more in detail below:
