4 Wrestling rumors we hope are true & 4 we hope aren't: Backstage reason why WWE is pushing veteran after 11 years, Huge WrestleMania match postponed to 2023?

#1. Hope isn't true: Keith Lee's status in WWE

Keith Lee on RAW

Keith Lee has been absent from WWE for three months now. He was originally scheduled to be a part of the United States Championship match at Elimination Chamber 2021, but he was pulled out for unknown reasons.

John Morrison replaced him and Bobby Lashley lost the US Title in what turned out to be a stepping stone to his first WWE Championship.

Keith Lee was scheduled for a big push and was one of the most regularly featured stars on RAW. He has been vague about his absence, but according to F4WOnline, Keith Lee is reportedly okay but simply isn't getting utilized (via Cageside Seats):

When asked about Keith Lee’s current status, F4WOnline’s Dave Meltzer said, “He’s okay, but obviously he’s not being used.”

We hope this isn't true because the RAW after WrestleMania would have been an ideal place for Keith Lee to return. Given the lack of big names in the main event scene on RAW, it would have been the perfect opportunity to push Keith Lee.
