Tell Craig Your Story

Today I’m joined by one of the most exciting names in professional wrestling — Lei Ying Lee, better known to wrestling fans around the world as Xia Li.
Lei Ying Lee has built an impressive international wrestling career, becoming a two-time TNA Knockouts World Champion and one of the most successful Chinese wrestlers on the global stage.
This conversation is particularly special for me because I was actually there in Shanghai in 2019 when Xia competed at her first ever WWE event in China.
In this episode, we go back to that incredible experience, talk about her WWE tryout, her journey from China into the international wrestling world and what her dream wrestling match would be. We also talk about representing China on the international stage and her journey through WWE and TNA.
