Keith Lee Won’t Be Going After A World Title Soon – Here’s Why

Nearly one month ago, former NXT Champion Keith Lee debuted on the main roster. Since then, the ‘limitless one’ has appeared in three matches. Although the first match ended in a disqualification, the limitless one showed his worth at WWE Payback 2020 as he pinned Randy Orton.

He then appeared in a triple threat match with Randy Orton and Seth Rollins to be the number one contender for the WWE Championship. However, he lost to Orton and lost his shot at the title at Clash of Champions 2020.

Keith Lee Might Not Go For A World Title So Soon

Since his debut, there have been reports that Vince McMahon has high hopes for Keith Lee. Lee was a double champion in NXT. He was the NXT Champion and NXT North American Champion before he vacated the latter. Just before he debuted on the main roster, he dropped the NXT Championship as well.

However, WWE might not be pushing him directly for a world championship win. WWE has a tendency to overuse NXT talents only to send them back. A great example of this is Finn Balor. Despite being a great wrestler and the inaugural Universal Champion, Finn Balor has not gotten a world title shot in four years.

Learning from past mistakes of a meteoric rise, WWE is probably going to build Keith Lee slowly. They are not going to set him on his world title journey now but they may pitch him against a mid-card title like the United States Championship.

The Hurt Business gained momentum when their member Bobby Lashley won the championship from Apollo Crews at WWE Payback 2020. The Hurt Business and Crews have been feuding for a long time now. It is hardly likely that their feud will be further stretched.

Whereas Keith Lee is a great opponent for the Hurt Business because of his moves and size. Also, WWE can team up  Apollo Crews and Keith Lee together and make them face the notorious group or set them in a tag team partnership.

Keith Lee is definitely in the main roster for great things. He might not get a world title opportunity soon but he has all the potential to be the next big Superstar. We hope WWE Clash of Champions 2020 will “bask in his glory.”
