Keith Lee Fuels WWE Return Speculation With Cryptic Tweets
Is Keith Lee FINALLY on his way back to WWE after three months on the sidelines?
Keith Lee hit Twitter with a couple of interesting posts yesterday, teasing a pivotal moment in his road to returning to WWE television.
The former NXT Champion posted the following statement in the morning, suggesting that for better or worse, yesterday was pivotal:-
Today is a day that can and will define the future. The wheels can have motion and move forward....or.... they can stop completely.

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.
