The WWE Universe was treated to some good news on Friday. Retribution member Reckoning aka Mia Yim announced her engagement with Former NXT Champion and current contender for United States Championship, Keith Lee.

The couple was dating for a couple of years before the engagement. Notably, Yim and Lee both came into the WWE Performance Center in 2018. Prior to WWE, Yim had a brief stint on Impact, and Lee wrestled in various independent promotions.

On NXT, as noted on the WWE website, the company acknowledged their relationship as they teamed up against Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae last June, in a losing effort.

Lee, later on, became the first man to hold both the NXT and NXT North American Championship. Yim and Lee both moved to the main roster following SummerSlam 2020.

On Thursday afternoon, Yim announced the news on her Twitter account. She wrote, “I said yes. Mr. & Mrs. Lee
@RealKeithLee.”

Yim, as a part of Retribution, wreaked havoc, and Lee challenged top-tier heavyweights like Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton. At the upcoming Elimination Chamber, Lee, alongside Riddle, will challenge Bobby Lashley in a triple-threat championship match.

As good wishes poured in, Yim acknowledged all the well-wishers. She sent out a thank you tweet as well.

Mia Yim was called up to the main roster right after Keith Lee

Following SummerSlam, Retribution members revealed themselves. Many fans said that Yim was called up to the main roster only because of Lee.

However, Yim quickly snubbed off the rumors as she said, “Focus on surfing and less on rumors. I got to where I am because I busted my a** for over a decade.”
