Report: Vince McMahon "Loves" Keith Lee After WWE Survivor Series 2019
Is the WWE Chairman about to go all in on the NXT colossus?
WWE Survivor Series 2019 has come and gone, with NXT's Keith Lee emerging as the night's biggest breakout star.
'Limitless' was outstanding in the men's 5-on-5-on-5 elimination match. He came into his own towards the end, nailing Seth Rollins with his Ground Zero finisher as 'The Beast Slayer' charged at him for a Blackout stomp, leaving him and Roman Reigns as the sole survivors. An electric final fall followed, and although Lee lost, he earned hordes of new fans for his part in the bout - and even almost pinned 'The Big Dog' with a huge Spirit Bomb.
One of those fans appears to be WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, who apparently "loves" the charismatic big man.
The Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online's Bryan Alvarez noted this twice during Survivor Series, first on Twitter, then on his site's paywalled message board where he reaffirmed that Vince is 100% in on Lee.
Keith's mass means this shouldn't come as a huge surprise, though his personality, athleticism, and presence make him so much more than a traditional wrestling big man, and it's great to see him flourishing after a stop/start early run in NXT.
Let's see what this means for Lee going forward.
