This is when questions arose about why WWE moved him in the first place if he needed to brush up on his skills. Apparently, McMahon hadn’t actually seen Keith Lee wrestle at NXT. It was only afterwards when he started working on the red brand that McMahon realized more work was needed.
It’s been a while since ‘The Limitless One’ has been in WWE. In fact, Lee has broken his silence about his absence and has revealed he will fight for his return, and when he does, he will explain the absence.
