Keith Lee, the WWE star recently joined Graham Matthews of Bleacher Report. He spoke about how he received negative reaction from the WWE Universe when he made his Monday Night Raw debut.
Keith Lee reveals the reason of the reaction
Lee had changed his entrance music and ring gear when he made his main roster debut in August last year. The fans were surprised to see the changes and it was not well received by them.
He said:
“Originally, honestly, even I was a little perplexed. You get all the people who came up to Raw who still used their old music. Mind you, none of them did their own music. I’m the only one that did, so it would make more sense for me to be the one to keep using my music. However, that did not happen, so they asked me to use something else, and I did, and I tried to be as accommodating a possible by putting the front of the song on that track, and it just didn’t vibe [laughs].”
Lee said that he ‘got destroyed as he was trying to figure out what to do in the given situation.
He said:
“It was rough, man! I did the best I could given the circumstances, and I was like, ‘I just have to ride with this until I can figure something out.’ Man, the way that blew up on the internet, it was like, ‘I thought you guys were my friends! I think I’m starting to understand some things here.’ Between the gear and the music, I just got destroyed.”
He hsd eventually changed his theme song and fans have been in favour of that.
Lee has both NXT North American Championship and NXT Championship to his accolade which he won during his stint on the gold and black brand.
On this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw he faced the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre in a losing effort.
