8 NXT Wrestlers Too Good To Fail On WWE's Main Roster
5. Keith Lee
The overwhelming feeling one experiences when watching a Keith Lee match for the first time is one of awe. Here's a man of 6'3" and well over 300lbs, who not only unloads the expected array of power moves, but an assortment of 'ranas, flips, and dives straight out of a Cruiserweight's playbook. It's unexpected, yet totally natural, and one of the key reasons behind his surge in popularity over the past few years.
But Lee is so much more than a big guy doing flippy sh*t. His "bask in my glory" shtick is money, and he projects the playful cockiness of a man who knows exactly how good he is without ever devolving to outright heelishness. Typically, he'll start matches with a slow, methodical pace punctuated by bursts of athletic explosion, with his magnetism carrying the spaces between moves. Lee can talk too, though we're yet to see it on NXT television.
A surefire TakeOver main-eventer, 'The Limitless One' is unlike anyone else currently under WWE employ. It's hard to imagine a future in which he doesn't make an immense main roster impact someday.
