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.

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.”
