When Keith Lee debuted on RAW last year, the WWE Universe thought he was about to be inserted into the WWE Title picture. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Though he never downright lost to Randy Orton he never won an opportunity at the gold.

After his embarrassing loss on Monday Night RAW last night, one would think he won't be near the top title for long. However, that might not be the case. Keith Lee was destroyed, for sure. It can't be denied. But he's going to have a chip on his shoulder.

Have him prove himself over the next few months. Goldberg is Lashley's next challenger, that's a fact. We've got time to build Lee back up in front of a live audience. Angel Garza, Elias, Cedric Alexander, and Jinder Mahal. Have him run through them all and more.

Get the more serious side of Keith Lee, someone who's tired of being denied, but someone who knows he squandered his last opportunity. That's a serious hit to someone's pride, and it could lead him down varying paths.

It could bring out his frustrations and anger. We could even get a mini-feud with Drew McIntyre, where he finally gets a pin over the Scottish Warrior. The WWE Universe was incredibly disappointed in Keith Lee's loss on RAW. It's understandable, but know that it doesn't have to be the end.
