5 Potential dream matches involving Keith Lee in 2021

In a recent interview, WWE Superstar Keith Lee revealed the names of stars who would be his dream opponents to face inside the ring. More recently, Keith Lee had been contending with Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship. Since his move from NXT to RAW in the summer of 2020, Lee has stepped up against stars like Randy Orton and Braun Strowman.

The Limitless One named former WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar, as somebody whom he would like to face in the future. The pair have briefly met in the 2020 Royal Rumble match, but they haven't come head-to-head in one-on-one action so far. Currently, Lesnar is a free agent.

The popular performer also mentioned wanting to square off against fan-favorite SmackDown Superstars, Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura. Together, Cesaro and Nakamura were former WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions.

Keith Lee is currently one of WWE RAW's most loved performers by the fans. It is easy to see his potential as the face of WWE in the near future. Here are five possible dream matches featuring Keith Lee in 2021.

#5 Keith Lee vs AJ Styles

Currently, Keith Lee and AJ Styles are both signed to the WWE RAW brand, so this is a match that could happen sooner rather than later. Keith Lee is one of the most popular babyfaces on WWE's Red Brand at the moment, and AJ Styles is portraying a more heelish character, which could lead to a classic face versus heel feud.

Throughout his wrestling career, both before and after he joined WWE, AJ Styles has been consistently praised by fans for his polished in-ring skills. Similarly, Keith Lee is notable for just how unique he is in the squared circle.

Fans of WWE have seen AJ Styles and Keith Lee share the ring on occasion. The pair have been involved in a Triple Threat match alongside Riddle to determine a number one contender for Drew McIntyre's WWE Championship at TLC, last year. Lee and Styles also teamed up at Survivor Series 2020, where they were both members of Team RAW.

However, the pair have not faced each other in one-on-one competition in WWE, so far. There is potential for the duo to put on a great singles WWE match together, in the future.

#4 Keith Lee vs Daniel Bryan

Like Keith Lee, Daniel Bryan is a firm fan-favorite star in WWE. The former WWE Champion is currently a part of the SmackDown roster, and he most recently took part in a gauntlet match against multiple WWE Superstars including King Corbin, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rey Mysterio, and Sami Zayn, for a potential shot at Roman Reigns' WWE Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble.

In recent interviews, Bryan has claimed that he is close to ending his full-time wrestling career in order to spend more time being a dad to his two children. The popular Superstar is still looking to perform, but on a part-time basis whilst he focuses on his family life. Bryan is also a WWE Superstar who has creative control over his character and storylines.

Since Daniel Bryan has confirmed that his current run in WWE will be his last as a full-time wrestler, there is a potential to see the star take part in some huge matches before he begins to wind down.

Keith Lee and Daniel Bryan are yet to face one another in WWE, but a match between them would have great potential. It would be great to see the pair face off in the ring, given their impressive level of in-ring ability as wrestlers.

#3 Keith Lee vs Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins and Keith Lee have been seen in the ring together previously. They have shared the ring at Survivor Series 2020 and 2019, both times in the traditional Survivor Series elimination matches.

In 2019, Keith Lee was the last star standing for Team NXT before he was eliminated by Roman Reigns who took the win for SmackDown, and in 2020, Seth Rollins was the first man out whereas Keith Lee was on the winning Team RAW.

Seth Rollins hasn't been seen on WWE programming since Survivor Series 2020, where he purposely allowed Sheamus to eliminate him from Team RAW and Team SmackDown's 5-on-5 elimination match. Since he has been absent from television, Rollins has become a father for the first time with fellow WWE Superstar Becky Lynch.

At the moment, Seth Rollins is a part of SmackDown, whereas Keith Lee is a RAW Superstar. However, stars have moved back-and-forth from different rosters despite the brand split. On some occasions, stars have made special appearances on different brands, especially around Survivor Series season.

Seth Rollins and Keith Lee were also in a Triple Threat match with Randy Orton, battling for a chance during the number one contenders match for Drew McIntyre's WWE Championship, which was won by Orton.

When Rollins returns to WWE, it is uncertain what the next step will be. Hopefully, fans will get to see Keith Lee and Seth Rollins together in one-on-one action at some point in 2021.

#2 Keith Lee vs Edge

Like Keith Lee, Edge is a huge favorite among WWE fans. Edge made his big return to WWE after a nine-year absence in the 2020 Royal Rumble match. Edge's comeback was one of the biggest returns for some time in WWE. Upon his return, he quickly embarked on a feud with Randy Orton, which ended when Edge sustained an injury in their one-on-one match at Backlash.

The Rated-R Superstar had to take a leave of absence throughout the rest of the year, as a result. He should be due to return to in-ring action in 2021, and it is currently unknown what the plans are for the Superstar upon his return. Although a WrestleMania match with Randy Orton has been discussed, anything could happen on the Road to WrestleMania 37.

Like Edge, Keith Lee has feuded with Randy Orton in 2020. This common factor could bring the two stars together, which may cause friction between both of them further down the line.

Having Keith Lee face Edge in 2021 would cement Lee as one of the biggest stars in WWE. There is great potential for something huge to happen between these two, and it would be nice to see the match go down at some point.

#1 Keith Lee vs Roman Reigns

In a contrast to Roman Reigns, Keith Lee is currently one of WWE's biggest babyface stars. As of now, Roman Reigns is also one of the biggest stars in WWE and he is dominating SmackDown as the Universal Champion. However, The Tribal Chief is currently in the midst of a majorly successful heel run, which came as a surprise after his unexpected return at SummerSlam 2020.

Although Reigns is a SmackDown Superstar and Keith Lee is on RAW, there is still a chance that fans could see them face one another this year.

There is potential for Lee to win the 2021 Royal Rumble match, and he could indeed challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship.

Fans last saw Roman Reigns and Keith Lee share the ring back at Survivor Series 2019, where the pair were the final two competitors in the elimination match. At the time, Keith Lee was an NXT star and Roman Reigns was representing SmackDown as one of the top babyfaces of the Blue Brand. The match ended when Reigns pinned Lee, and the two shared a gesture of respect in the ring.

Now that the dynamic between the two has changed, it would be exciting to see Reigns and Lee face each other in one-on-one action. Given the charisma, character work, and in-ring ability that these two stars possess, both of them could truly create something great together.
