Keith Lee is undoubtedly one of the best pro wrestlers in the WWE main roster right now, but unfortunately for him, he had been on the shelf for several months and there was no telling when he will be making a return. Vince McMahon also buried Keith Lee for a surprising reason.
Keith Lee finally made his return on Monday Night RAW back in August as he competed in a couple of matches on the show and then various dark matches as WWE is still trying to figure out what to do with Keith Lee for now.
Keith Lee recently spoke on the Out of Character podcast with Ryan Satin, where he talked about Vince McMahon being hands-on with his character in WWE.
One thing I’ve had fun with is that it’s been probably one of the greatest challenges. It’s something that people point out, ‘you’re a naturally nice guy, I want to see the other side.’ I’m like, ‘You don’t want that guy.’ The professional Keith is the best case scenario because the guy that played football and the guy who has been through a lot in his life is a different being altogether. They want it and it’s coming and there’s not much anybody will be able to do about it because when I get to that mindset and I’m so fixated, it’s kind of a jet that is hard to stop. Trying to stop a jet with a piece of paper. It’ll be interesting.
“I would say he’s been quite hands on, which is honestly something I need because I want to know what he wants as opposed to making a guess or estimation or hypothesis. If I know what he wants directly, it makes it that much easier to give him what he’s looking for. He’s the man, he runs this, if he wants a specific thing out of his talent, then the talent is to give him what he wants.”
