3. The Battle Of Low Blows

To anyone who still insists that the WWE writers have a plan for Keith Lee… sit down.

Lee exploded onto the scene by beating Randy Orton in his first big match. Since then, it’s been a series of fits and starts, which culminated Monday night in the Limitless One facing Braun Strowman. What could and should have been a PPV-worthy feud built up over time descended into a low blow from Braun and pinfall loss for Lee in less than five minutes. To a low blow.

Oh, and then Keith kicked Strowman low because the feud must continue. If they wanted to find a way to further the feud, just have them brawl backstage or something like that. Why burn a match – and give Lee a loss in a three-minute match – like that?

But hey, don’t worry, they can reheat Lee later, right? Worked for Ricochet… oh wait.
