Trevor Lee is🔯 looking forward to facing Mistico in MLW.
Lee will make his debut for the promotion on Thursday, December 5, as he'll face Mistico for the MLW🐠 World Middleweꦚight Championship at the Eric Bischoff's One Shot event.
Lee was originally set to make his debut for the company at the Slaughterhouse event in October in a match against Donova♎n Dijak. That event was canceled due to H✤urricane Helene.
While chatting with Fightful for a new interview, Lee j💙okingly said that he's♒ glad the match didn't happen, mainly due to the fact that Dijak is bizarre and a maniac.
“I really wish I had that answer for you. But that would be a better answer for my agent. So I’m not exactly sure who reached out, but I know that yeah, that first match would have been incredible, right, me and Donovan Dijak, what a match to debut and really show people what I’m capable of doing because he’s such a maniac. Any match that you see out of Dijak, you don’t know what can happen because for a man his size, he’s absolutely bizarre, and honestly, I’m kind of happy that match didn’t happen [laughs]."
Lee continued on and said that he's ready to clash with Mistico, one of the c🙈ompany's top performers.
"But for MLW to now give me a different debut against Mistico for the World Middleweight Championship, that shows that they have respect for me as a talent. In the past few years, that’s all I’ve really wanted is to be able to show that I’m ready for whatever that situation may bring. I think this is gonna be the best opportunity to show that with Mistico, one of the top talents coming out of Mexico and even a top talent here in America. So the two styles are gonna clash great, and I think it’s gonna be awesome."
Lee w🐽ent on to talk about how he's preparing to face Mis൩tico.
"This is kind of funny because one of the first weekends out of being released from WWE, I went to Mexico City with Joaquin Wilde of the LWO, and we did some training in Mexico City. There’s actually a training school there that had a crash pad beside the ring, and there’s not a lot of those. That’s like the only one that I really know of. So we went there to just go be crazy, and then also learn more of that Lucha style, and then we actually also got to check out a AAA event in Arena Mexico, and the main event of that show was Mexico. So without even knowing it, I was studying him already. I’m very cultured in all styles of professional wrestling ever since I started at 14 years old. I watched every single style, and I think that’s kind of shown in my hybrid style that I have. In the past few years, I’ve been kind of a haha guy, but I think in this match, I’m gonna show you that I’m more than that."
Elsewhere in the interview, Lee talked about his frustration with not being showcased on the main roster in WWE. Check out his full comments here.
