Keith Lee made a huge impact in NXT, and was expected to be pushed as a big star on the main roster. Unfortunately, his move to RAW last summer delivered a series of disappointments, and for reasons which still aren't entirely clear, his ring attire received a goofy overhaul (as did his previously awesome, and now thoroughly generic, entrance music).
It felt like Vince McMahon was trying to transform Lee into what he wanted, but the former NXT Champion has been M.I.A. since February. He was supposed to win the United States Championship that month at Elimination Chamber but is thought to be dealing with an unspecified injury.
Weirdly, Lee has declined to share any details on what that might be, and a series of cryptic Tweets that have ultimately led nowhere have only served to further fuel speculation online. Well, he's back with another message to fans, hinting at the mysterious circumstances keeping him out of the ring.
If we had to read between the lines here, it sounds like Lee might be dealing with a concussion issue, something we know WWE doesn't like to talk publicly about given the negative connotations with those.
However, it seems Lee is keen to talk to fans about whatever is going on with him, and he's going to do so in the near future in some way, shape, or form. For now, we're once again left to just speculate...
