Details On ROH Re-Signing Dragon Lee & Rush

Ring of Honor has re-signed World Champion Rush and Television Champion Dragon Lee to new contracts, along with Bestia Del Ring. Both Rush and Lee negotiated new contracts with help from Masked Republic to allow wrestlers to continue making money off merchandise deals in outside companies or other business ventures from ROH.

Masked Republic had signed merchandise deals with them along with all Lucha Libre stars including: Lucha Bros. Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix, Tinieblas Jr, Konnan, The Great Sasuke, Vampiro, Christi Jaynes, and Salina de la Renta. Both Dragon Lee and Rush were offered basic contracts from Masked Republic, along with an amended version that also included 3rd party stipulations.

Dragon Lee signed a 1-month extension to his previous contract just so that his new contract and Rush’s new contracts could begin (and subsequently end) at the same time. Lee’s contract was set to expire on December 31st, 2020. Rush’s contract was ending on January 31st, 2021.

As it pertains to Bestia Del Ring, he is under a paid per appearance deal and does not have the same provisions as his sons. It’s rare that non-traditional deals are negotiated to include non-exclusive merchandising rights in the world of pro wrestling. For instance, both Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero M have a similar deal with AEW by having a non-exclusive merchandising rights, meaning the talents are free to negotiate their own merchandising deals with other companies outside of ROH, AEW, etc.
