#2 A possible KeithMania moment?
There’s no possible way we can compare Kofi Kingston and Keith Lee, except for the fact that both Superstars are big with the WWE Universe.
Kofi got his WWE Championship shot after the fans backed him up for a long time, and we have now seen Lee get a lot of backing from the fans. Lee hasn’t been in WWE for even a fraction of the time Kofi has but managed to build a massive reputation for himself during the build-up to Survivor Series.

The Limitless One has already received a North American Championship match along with Dominic Dijakovic, and both men together have also challenged for the NXT Tag Team Championships.
Even though Lee does not have an impressive success rate, NXT will be looking to cash in on his recent surge in following, and that could help the brand get more viewership.
NXT has usually given the fans what they want, and this could be another one of those moments that could give fans what they want and help build a bigger connection between the company and the NXT Universe.
Lee doesn't need to go on to win the NXT Championship, but if he is booked to win against Balor and Ciampa, we could see his reputation skyrocket as much as the time he pinned Seth Rollins.
