With Steph McMahon.” “Eddie gave me words of wisdom, talked about God and just made me feel real when I was around him. And with Dragon, it’s like I found this connection with him very special.”
Meanwhile, Mysterio points out that his relationship with Dragon Lee is still one of mentor and protégé, explaining that he is the one giving the advice. The veteran then explained that the two of them mainly talk about family, because like him, Dragon Lee is also married and has two children.
