Which Major WWE Star Told Keith Lee He Wants Him "One-On-One"?
This match would be seriously good if it happened.
Keith Lee said on WWE Backstage that last November's Survivor Series 2019 pay-per-view was one of the most intense days of his professional life. The reigning NXT North American Champion was drafted in as part of his brand's squad for the traditional elimination match, and he ended up going toe-to-toe with Roman Reigns during a thrilling closing stretch.
The 'Big Dog' was impressed.
After Lee bumped hard for Roman's Spear and waited until the last possible second to kick out of a Powerbomb, Reigns leaned in and said he wanted a one-on-one match with the NXT man. That was a huge compliment to Lee.
He replied, "I'd be honoured".
WWE hasn't booked the singles match yet, but there's no rush. Reigns vs. Lee, if handled correctly, could easily headline a pay-per-view at some point, and that'd be a dream come true for he who asks fans to bask in his glory.
Lee has been killing it as North American Champ lately. His opener with Dominik Dijakovic rocked the house at NXT TakeOver: Portland, and it once again showed how athletic Keith is for such a big man.
