Keith Lee had an excellent run in NXT as he won both the NXT North American and NXT Championship. He was the called up to the main roster and was given a lot of focus. However, he had to make some adjustments when he was called up.
Lee spoke to SportsNet.ca, where he was asked about making the jump to the main roster in WWE. Lee said he felt lucky that he already knew many people on RAW and that is why he was never unsure about making the transition.
“I think that things can change so very quickly. I also think that’s just part of being in wrestling as a whole, so that’s not a huge difference. But the biggest difference is just getting to know people that I’ve either never wrestled or never met, and just getting used to how things are and the way things work at RAW… At the end of the day, I was actually very fortunate because I had several friends on RAW, so I wasn’t unsure or uncomfortable. I’m a fairly confident guy anyway, so when it comes to the transition, it felt very natural.”
It is likely Lee will be given a solid push eventually as he continues to have a lot of support from fans.
