10 Best Main Roster Debuts By WWE NXT Stars

10. Keith Lee

Keith Lee had a two part main roster debut, both worthy to be on this list on their own.

After taking part in the NXT invasion the previous November, The Limitless One reintroduced himself to the main roster by way of the Royal Rumble. Up to that point, Brock Lesnar had eliminated everyone who had entered, without much of a fight. That changed when the North American Champion entered at number 13 and both The Beast and Paul Heyman looked impressed just by the stature of Keith Lee alone.

Once in the ring, fans basked in the glory of Keith Lee as he looked in his element against both Lesnar and Braun Strowman. Flying around the ring, taking the WWE Champion off his feet and looking dominate squaring off against two of WWE's best was a solid first night for Keith Lee.

When he arrived on the roster full stop a few months later, Keith Lee's first match was against Randy Orton. The Viper, just 24 hours removed from a WWE Championship match himself, was the perfect opponent for Lee, who was defeding his friend in Drew McIntyre. While that match ended in a disqualification, six nights later at Payback Keith Lee defeated The Viper in an outstanding match.

There are few better ways to announce your presence with authority than pinning a 14-time World champion clean.
