GUNTHER Unmasks Dragon Lee on RAW – Gunther took his rivalry with Dragon Lee to another level on the March 2 episode of WWE RAW when he removed Lee’s mask during their match.
The bout opened the first hour of RAW after weeks of tension between the two. Dragon Lee had stepped up in response to Gunther’s recent comments about AJ Styles. Gunther defeated Styles at the Royal Rumble in a match that led to Styles’ retirement, and he continued to take verbal shots at the 2026 Hall of Fame inductee. Lee, who previously teamed with Styles, confronted Gunther to defend his former partner’s legacy.
Their match quickly turned physical. Lee attacked Gunther during his entrance, setting an aggressive tone. Once the bell rang, Gunther regained control with heavy strikes and his trademark chops. He slowed the pace and used his size advantage to keep Lee grounded.
Dragon Lee fought back with speed and aerial offense. A series of quick counters and high-impact moves shifted momentum in his favor. The crowd rallied behind him as he pushed Gunther to the limit.
Late in the match, Gunther crossed a line. During a scramble, he grabbed Dragon Lee’s mask and tore it off. In lucha libre tradition, a mask represents identity and honor. Removing it without consent is viewed as a serious sign of disrespect. The broadcast avoided showing Lee’s full face, but the damage was done.
With Lee trying to cover himself, Gunther capitalized. He locked in a sleeper hold and forced Lee to pass out, securing the victory.
The win adds to Gunther’s dominant run, but his decision to unmask Dragon Lee may have lasting consequences. While Lee is expected to return with his mask intact, the act itself is unlikely to be forgotten.
