Lee hasn't had the easiest of rides on WWE's main roster. Originally presented as a big deal opposite Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre, the big man quickly fell out of the spotlight, returning to it for a quick, hard-hitting WWE Title match with McIntyre in early January.

That's when things really started going awry. Pulled from that month's Royal Rumble pay-per-view, Lee returned soon after, and was reportedly set to win the United States Championship at Elimination Chamber. Keith was then removed from that pay-per-view as well - and hasn't been seen since.

The latest reporting on the matter states that Lee is currently out of action due to an undisclosed medical issue. The 36-year-old hasn't been shy of expressing his desire to return throughout this hiatus, though he has kept his cards close to his chest with regards to his health.
