Popular WWE star could be out for 3-4 months

There has been a concerning update regarding a popular WWE star and their injury situation. The promotion is set for SummerSlam 2026 this weekend at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota.

The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Austin Theory battled Dragon Lee and Je’Von Evans earlier this month on WWE RAW. The Vision emerged victorious, and Dragon Lee suffered a thumb injury during the match.

Speaking on NotSam Wrestling, Lee shared a concerning update about his injury. The popular star noted that if he required surgery, he could miss 3-4 months of action, but he was hoping that would not be the case.

“I don’t know how long I will be out, but I don’t want to get surgery because if I get surgery, I’ll be out for 3-4 months, and I don’t want that,” he said.

The veteran also shared that he was told that he could “probably wrestle” with the injury and was hoping that the promotion would let him do so.

“They told me with this injury I can probably wrestle. Hopefully they will let me wrestle,” he added. (H/T: Ringside News)

Dragon Lee has been appearing on both RAW and AAA in recent months for the company. The 31-year-old captured the World Tag Team Championships alongside AJ Styles last year. Styles retired from in-ring competition following his loss to Gunther at Royal Rumble 2026.

Dragon Lee comments on teaming up with AJ Styles in WWE

WWE RAW star Dragon Lee recently opened up about getting the opportunity to be in a tag team with AJ Styles.

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on the INSIGHT podcast, Lee stated that he was honored to work with Styles during his final run and that he was proud of himself.

“I feel honored to be part of his last matches, and even John Cena’s last match [event], I was part of that too. I feel like you know so many things that I’m proud of myself, you know, because if you’re not, if you don’t recognize yourself, who else will? You just look at the mirror and say, ‘You’re doing well, keep working. I’m proud of you, brother. Keep working.’ My family, that’s it, that’s all the energy I need.” said Lee [H/T: INSIGHT]
