WWE shocked the pro wrestling world when they announced some talented wrestlers from their roster. Some of the releases were so shocking that it took some time to realize that WWE really did it. The most shocking name among the wrestlers who got released by WWE last month was Keith Lee. Prior to his release, Lee was regarded as the future star in WWE after he went toe-to-toe with the likes of Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman and Randy Orton.

While everyone expected Lee to become a mainstay of WWE programming, he got released by the company. Keith Lee definitely had the attention of the fans by letting his feelings know following his release. But most recently, he posted a very interesting photo on Instagram which confused the WWE Universe.


In the photo, we see Lee standing face to face with Brock Lesnar inside the squared circle. It was actually a throwback picture from the 2020 Royal Rumble PPV, where Lee and Brock had a confrontation. Interestingly, Lee did not provide any caption which made the fans even more confused. But perhaps it was a throwback to one of Keith Lee’s best moments in WWE. Also, it might hint at the fact that Lee looks up to Lesnar.

Brock Lesnar was in the mood of destruction on that night until Keith Lee showed up. Prior to Lee’s entry at the Royal Rumble match, Lesnar eliminated 11 other superstars. The Beast Incarnate showed complete dominance until the former NXT Champion entered the squared circle.

Lee got a tremendous cheer from the crowd after he shoulder tackled Lesnar to the floor. The two superstars then took each other out with a running clothesline at the same time. The crowd loved it and cheered for Lee. But following Braun Strowman’s arrival in the match, Lee got engaged in a brawl with Strowman.
