Keith Lee has been missing from WWE RAW for a while now, but can he make his return?
Keith Lee hasn’t been in action since February 2021 and the reason for that is the former NXT champion not being cleared to fight by the promotion.
There is no clarity regarding why that is the case. But it has seen him miss a variety of big opportunities in the past 3 or so months, including an appearance at WrestleMania 37.
Lee has been posting tweets here and there on his Twitter account but they are always ambiguous. And he made a couple of them earlier this week as well.
One tweet featured a cryptic message about the motions of wheel, with no further clarity provided for the fans to understand what exactly it means.
“Today is a day that can and will define the future. The wheels can have motion and move forward….or…. they can stop completely. ……Make your wheels turn. Accept no substitute.”
So, could it be that Lee is having talks about his future with the WWE management? Or could it be a subtle way to indicate a return? No one can tell yet.
Another tweet saw him just post a picture of himself coming out of the cage at NXT TakeOver: WarGames. Again, no one has a clue as to what it could mean.
It can indicate him leaving the symbolic ‘cage’ that he finds himself in right now on the Red brand, a possible return to NXT, or it could just be a simple throwback image.
But why exactly is he out of action? Even Dave Meltzer, speaking on a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t Ringside News) seemed to have no idea.
“I don’t know anything that’s going with Keith Lee. He’s okay, but obviously he’s not being used. I don’t know what the whole story is.”
Lee was a beast on NXT but has been watered down significantly since his main roster debut, with many now even referencing his RAW experience as something other NXT stars should avoid.
