NXT Superstar Keith Lee has become one of the most over Superstars in the business in a matter of months. Lee’s outstanding performance from last year’s Survivor Series turned a lot many heads and rightfully so.
Lee has a lot many people within the industry rooting for him and it seems like he might have a fan in CM Punk. On this week’s episode of WWE Backstage, CM Punk stated that Lee should be winning the 2020 Men’s Royal Rumble.
Punk gave heavy praise for Lee’s performance at last year’s Men’s Survivor Series match and went on to say that Lee is a big fish in a little pond (while meaning no disrespect to NXT). Punk believes that WWE should follow up on Lee’s little moment with Roman Reigns at Survivor Series and essentially strike when the iron is hot.
Punk ended his statement by saying that Lee should just “chunk” Lesnar over the top rope and win the entire Rumble. You can check out the video of the said segment here:
