10 Best Booked Wrestling Babyfaces Of 2020
8. Keith Lee
What a year it has been for Keith Lee.
He won the NXT North American Championship in January. He had one of the best spots in the Royal Rumble when he squared off with both Braun Strowman AND Brock Lesnar. He then followed that up with a great showing against Dominik Dijakovic at NXT TakeOver: Portland... and that was just in the first two months.
Lee became the first ever double champion on NXT by defeating Adam Cole at the Great American Bash and then he swiftly moved up to the main roster. Oh, and he beat Randy Orton clean in his first PPV match at Payback. Lee is a superstar and it seems WWE creative see him this way.
The push has been near flawless. Lee has been booked as a death-defying big man who can completely vary his offence. This automatically makes him one of the most likeable personalities on the roster, but when you combine that with his promo work...the guy is (dare I say?) limitless.
In terms of the main roster, this is one of the biggest pushes we've seen from an NXT call up. Surely, that means Vince has faith in Lee and will keep building his momentum? Here's hoping!
