10 Big Concerns Heading Into WWE WrestleMania Backlash
3. Keith Lee Doesn't Return
Keith Lee has teased his return to WWE, the cheeky devil. The former NXT Champion tweeted on Tuesday with the following statement:-
Today is a day that can and will define the future. The wheels can have motion and move forward....or.... they can stop completely.
......Make your wheels turn. Accept no substitute.

Following up that same evening with a photo of him with what appears to be a steel cage door behind him, 'The Limitless One' is all but confirmed for a return to television in the near future. Unless, of course, this was just Keith being a tease. He's the sort of guy who would post such a thing simply to get his fans speaking.
Lee seemed destined for huge things once he jumped to the main roster in August; a pay-per-view win over Randy Orton proved this, as did the reports that he was scheduled to lift the United States Championship at Elimination Chamber before Riddle instead dethrone Bobby Lashley. Having been gone since February, though, there's no word on if Vince McMahon will have the same eye for big beefy Keithy upon his return.
He could easily slot into either the United States or Intercontinental Championship scene straight away. Keith vs. Sheamus in a marquee title situation screams money; get it booked, Vince.
