As a sports entertainer, Keith Lee is the full package. For a man of his size, he is able to perform high-flying moves that he shouldn't be able to, such as his moonsault or corkscrew plancha to the outside. Additionally, he is also capable of performing feats of strength not many others can. More impressively, Lee is very charismatic, fueling crowds with his "Bask in My Glory" gimmick and cutting engaging promos on NXT TV.

2019 was a breakout year for Lee in the WWE, as he was able to show his wide array of skills to a large audience on both NXT and the main roster - most famously in the men's Survivor Series elimination match, where he was the last man pinned in the match.

Since then, Lee has been able to step up his game as the reigning NXT North American Champion, with excellent performances in his long-standing feud with Dominik Dijakovic, and more recently, his champion vs. champion mini-feud with NXT Champion Adam Cole.

With Lee being as skilled as he is both in-ring and on the mic, while having a massive 145 kg frame, it seems likely that he will have massive success on the main roster, and potentially win the WWE Championship once he gets called up.
