Keith Lee is one of WWE's biggest stars but has not been seen in the company for a while. He was set for a run with the United States title. Unfortunately, he had to take time away from WWE thanks to an injury he suffered.
Lee has been active on social media and has talked about working on getting back to the ring. Hopefully, the superstar will be able to return soon.
When he does return, Lee will need to start wrestling at the top level immediately. After being gone for so long, he will need to make an impact with his return storyline.
He could battle a number of superstars and WWE could go in any direction with his return. There are several feuds he could get into when he finally returns.

The following are possible storylines for Keith Lee's return to WWE RAW.
#5 Keith Lee could face Sheamus
Keith Lee was originally supposed to win the WWE United States Championship, according to reports. Unfortunately, injuries and health issues saw the superstar taken off television. He was one of the most beloved babyfaces on the roster and the fans were all behind him. A title run would have been the perfect way for him to get where he needed to be.
Sheamus is currently the WWE United States Champion. Keith Lee's return could see him challenge Sheamus directly to pick up where he left off. Lee facing Sheamus would see the two superstars have quite a few interesting and entertaining matches.
Both stars are capable of putting on matches that their fans will love. Perhaps this could be the best way to bring the superstar back to the roster, as he could also get a title run out of it, and fans would finally see him get the push that he rightfully deserves.
From there, he could move on to other feuds and build his presence on the main roster.
#4 Keith Lee could team up with Braun Strowman
Keith Lee and Braun Strowman could have a storyline where the two giants team up.
Braun Strowman has not been lucky on the main roster recently. His involvement in a feud with Shane McMahon saw him come away with the win, but it didn't do much to help his image.
Instead, he entered the WWE Championship picture following WrestleMania. Once there, he wrestled Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley regularly, looking better week after week. But at WrestleMania Backlash, Braun Strowman took the pinfall from Bobby Lashley after McIntyre hit him with a Claymore.
Strowman needs to build himself into a monster again, and the best way to do this is through a proper storyline with Keith Lee. The two giants are no strangers to each other as they have battled previously, but together, they could be the monster tag team that no one could beat.
Currently, the RAW Tag Team division is not at the forefront of programming. Omos and AJ Styles holding the titles allows for other top teams to be formed to battle them.
The storyline would see both men featured regularly and would help Keith Lee and Strowman possibly even get a title run together.
#3 Keith Lee could form a tag team with Shelton Benjamin
Keith Lee could also return to form a tag team with Shelton Benjamin. Currently, after the break-up of The Hurt Business, Shelton Benjamin has been feuding with Cedric Alexander.
However, once that feud is done, he will need something to do in WWE as well. The best way to do that is to have him team up with Keith Lee. Lee, when he returns, could use some time to build himself up before going for a strong singles run.
A tag team run would do wonders for him, and with Benjamin, who is a tag team expert, the two superstars could go the distance. There's no telling what they can do when put together and might even win the tag team titles if booked well.
Benjamin has been a lot more compelling since he started to feud with Alexander and could become even more relevant if he teamed up with Lee.
A team of Shelton Benjamin and Keith Lee would also be fun to watch and would keep them both on WWE TV.
#2 Keith Lee could face Drew McIntyre
Keith Lee is no stranger to Drew McIntyre. The two friends turned rivals have battled quite a few times since Lee appeared on the main roster. The two stars have both teamed and fought against each other. As a result, they are very familiar.
Keith Lee returning and turning heel to attack Drew McIntyre could be the exact feud that WWE needs. Not only would it give Lee a compelling storyline, it would also give McIntyre something to do that would keep him away from the WWE title picture.
Bobby Lashley's title reign has just begun, and he could do with feuding with superstars other than Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre. This would leave The Scottish Psychopath needing to find a compelling storyline.
In such a case, there couldn't be a better feud for him than facing Keith Lee. Lee and McIntyre could put on some really entertaining matches and even have a grudge feud that would see them fight each other for more than a few months.
The two stars could take things to the next level in their feud if they just kept pushing each other and that might be one of the rivalries that fans remember 2021 for, if booked well.
#1 Keith Lee could challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship
Keith Lee is a bonafide champion who can do anything that's asked of him. For his size, Lee is extremely athletic and agile. Lee is also charismatic and can be the face of the company, if pushed strongly enough.
Bobby Lashley is currently holding the WWE Championship, and he has beaten both McIntyre and Strowman in the last few weeks. Now, he needs a new challenge, and the best way for that to happen would be for him to face Keith Lee.
Lee, upon returning, could be directly pushed to the top to face Lashley, and no fan would have a problem with that. He could face Lashley in extremely entertaining matches, and there's no doubt that he would be able to hang in the ring with The All Mighty.
The feud could even see Keith Lee become the next WWE Champion if booked well, and it would not be out of place. Lee, as champion, would be able to do lead the company and prove that he belonged at the top of WWE.
