For those left in disbelief at those stories of WWE going all in on a Becky Lynch heel turn, it looks like you can soon add Keith Lee to the list of stars getting a somewhat questionable character change.

In a new report from WrestlingNews.co, Vince McMahon is said to be considering turning Limitless into a vicious monster heel. This follows recent stories of how Lee has been working dark matches prior to Raw and SmackDown as WWE looks to "refine" his on-screen persona, and how WWE is looking at changing Big Keith's style.

Of course, at these dark matches, Lee has been getting major babyface reactions because, well, he's Keith Lee and has a unique charisma and appeal that instantly connects him to an audience and has them rooting for him. So, in that case, obviously WWE is weighing up a heel turn for the former NXT Champion...

Keith revealed earlier this month that the reason for his prolonged WWE TV absence earlier in the year, was down to him battling COVID-19 and a heart issue. Limitless was last on our screens back on 2 August, defeating Karrion Kross on an episode of Raw.
