Keith Lee and Drew McIntyre went to war on RAW Legends Night for the WWE Championship and unfortunately, nobody remembers who came up second, in WWE and life.
While the world is still stunned at the fact that Drew McIntyre and Goldberg squared off in the middle of the ring on RAW Legends Night, not nearly as many people are wondering about the future of his competitor, Keith Lee.
Pondering about such things is what we do at SK Wrestling and therefore, we present five directions for Keith Lee following his defeat against Drew McIntyre.

#5 Keith Lee clashes against Drew McIntyre, this time as a heel, after winning the Royal Rumble
Did you check out this exclusive about Keith Lee that was posted exclusively on the SK Wrestling Twitter handle? If you look at the man, you instantly believe that Keith Lee would be a favorite to win the Royal Rumble. Once you see him work, this idea is strengthened and hence, nobody would bat an eyelid if he wins the 2021 Royal Rumble.
The only reason why this possibility is so very early in this list is that Vince McMahon is not nearly as high on Keith Lee as he was a few weeks ago. That said, plans could always change and Keith Lee could go on to win the Royal Rumble to challenge the WWE Champion, Goldberg, or Drew McIntyre. In fact, the triple threat match mentioned by WrestleVotes doesn't really sound half bad at all.
There could be a heel turn at some point, giving a fresh new dimension to the McIntyre vs. Keith Lee match, considering we've all seen it already.
#4 Sheamus and Keith Lee go to war
Keith Lee has been portrayed as someone who is a peer and a contemporary of Drew McIntyre, the WWE Champion. When the situation arises, they can slug it out with one another and when the situation demands, they can also team up against a mutual foe in the roster.
Sheamus and Drew McIntyre have been portrayed as the best of friends in the WWE roster, but at the same time, while Drew McIntyre and Keith Lee are cordial, Sheamus and Keith Lee cannot stand one another.
Following his loss to Drew McIntyre, Sheamus and Keith Lee could renew their rivalry following the solid contest they had some time ago, and take each other to the limit in a series of matches. It would allow for either Keith Lee or Sheamus to turn heel and go for the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre.
WWE doesn't often get a lot of credit for their storylines, but they've done a commendable job in setting this extremely volatile situation up on RAW.
#3 RETRIBUTION offers to recruit Keith Lee, to kickstart a brand new feud
You may say that Keith Lee would be a very strange fit for RETRIBUTION, but at the same time, the faction does need a major player for it to be taken seriously. RETRIBUTION could approach Keith Lee, who is down in the dumps after his defeat on RAW Legends Night, and promise him a massive opportunity at some gold once more, as a member of their collective.
Remember that despite all of his talent and his wealth of gifts, Keith Lee was sent to the WWE Performance Center to hone his skills. Moreover, there are multiple reports that Vince McMahon isn't as high on Keith Lee as he was just eight weeks ago. This could be their recruitment pitch to Keith Lee.
As a member of RETRIBUTION, Keith Lee and Mustafa Ali could team up and go after the tag team gold, allowing for the others to challenge for the WWE United States Championship. In this way, the whole RETRIBUTION vs. The Hurt Business program could kickstart once again, with a new player.
#2 Keith Lee is offered a place in The Hurt Business
How does Keith Lee go after the WWE Championship once more, now that he has been vanquished by Drew McIntyre on RAW? The answer could come in the form of The Hurt Business, with MVP acting as his manager and his mouthpiece. Not everyone is a fan of Keith Lee's dramatic promo style and MVP could solve this problem with his far more traditional pro wrestling delivery.
Because The Hurt Business is already in possession of the United States Championship and the RAW Tag Team Championships, they may decide that they want to recruit Keith Lee as their weapon. With Keith Lee in their mix, they can potentially go after the WWE Championship. Keith Lee effectively turns heel and now, there is a new dimension to Keith Lee vs. Drew McIntyre.
Provided Drew McIntyre goes over Goldberg at the Royal Rumble, now the audience can potentially look forward to Keith Lee vs. Drew McIntyre with The Hurt Business at ringside, cheering on their man, at a later date.
#1 Keith Lee clashes with Bobby Lashley over the WWE United States Championship
Keith Lee and Bobby Lashley could definitely mix it up for the WWE United States Championship and elevate the title to the next level.
Bobby Lashley has many admirers in the WWE locker room and also within the pro wrestling fraternity. Yes, one of those individuals is WWE Hall of Famer, Kurt Angle, as can be seen, and heard in the video linked at the top of this page. Lashley has seemed like a much bigger star since he became a member of The Hurt Business, and yet, he's not had a breakout program yet.
One has to assume that he will need more challengers after Riddle is through with him, which is where Keith Lee comes in. Bobby Lashley vs. Keith Lee at WrestleMania for the United States Championship could certainly be an extremely big marquee match.
WrestleMania could end with Bobby Lashley putting over Keith Lee as the brand new United States Champion and a future megastar for the company.
