10 WWE Wrestlers Who Could Break Records Before 2020 Ends
10. Keith Lee — Longest North American Championship Reign
Okay, so NXT’s North American Championship might be one of the youngest titles in WWE, but you can only beat the records that are in front of you. Keith Lee currently holds the championship, having beaten Roderick Strong for the title back in January of this year. Lee has defeated all-comers in the months since, although the ‘all-comers’ in question have largely been Dominick Dijakovic.
Lee has just passed 100 days as champion, but he still has a ways to go before he can break the record for the fledgling title’s longest reign. That honour currently rests with Velveteen Dream, who enjoyed a 209-day run with the belt over the first nine months of 2019 before dropping the strap to, yes, Roderick Strong. NXT really is stuck in a rut.
The candles have barely stopped smoking on the NXT North American Championship’s second birthday cake and the title is already somewhat stagnant. It desperately needs a definitive reign, a lengthy run filled with competitive matches that comes to a satisfying end, not unlike Samoa Joe’s promotion-defining reign as ROH Champion. Keith Lee may well be just the man for the job.
