Alexa Bliss has posted another cryptic photo about needing ‘love’ with a backside view on her Instagram page.
Keith Lee had a stupendous run in NXT. However, his main roster call-up was lackluster and eventually turned into nothing but a disaster. It seems WWE Chairman Vince McMahon might be the one to be blamed. The whole gimmick transformation to ‘Bearcat’ did not work for him when he returned in September last year. He wrestled twice on television as “Bearcat,” defeating Akira Tozawa and Cedric Alexander. He was ultimately released from the company in November. Lee expressed his frustrations about the gimmick while speaking to Chris Jericho on Talk Is Jericho.
Keith Lee opens up on Vince McMahon
Lee is currently signed to AEW and during the podcast, he expressed his frustrations over his main roster run in WWE due to his gimmick change. He also revealed a backstage conversation with the WWE Chairman about his direction in the company. Many fans thought “Bearcat” was an homage to Bearcat Wright, a wrestler in the late 1950s and 1960s but ‘The Limitless’ revealed that it was not the case. He said:
“What happened is, when I was about to come back, they hit me with the vision for the Bearcat thing. During that time, I was like, ‘I don’t understand what that is. I’m not sure I’m feeling that.’ They brought me back as me and then, my second match — the first match lost to (Bobby) Lashley. The second match lost to (Karrion) Kross — In the middle of the show, Vince pulls me to a room and wants to talk. Vince doesn’t leave the show. Middle of Raw, semi and main event coming up, and he’s like, ‘Let’s go chat.’ ‘You’re the guy on the headphones, what are you doing?’ It was in that conversation that he was basically like, ‘I need you to do this and I need you to be this.’ ‘I work for you. If that’s what you want, that’s what we’re going to do.'” he recalled.
Lee will compete in the Face of the Revolution Ladder match on Sunday at AEW Revolution.
