The past few weeks have been a roller-coaster and a half for Keith Lee. His WWE 24 special hit the Network and did a great job telling his story from childhood until his debut on RAW. Lee was then rumored to face Drew McIntyre for the WWE Title triple threat match at WrestleMania 37.

However, reports of him being sent to get additional reps in at the Performance Center were met with confused and negative responses. Lee was then beaten by The Miz and John Morrison, a match that Drew McIntyre won a month or so ago. That is not the ideal presentation for your next top star.

Hopefully, The Limitless One is able to gather enough momentum to reach the top of the card by WrestleMania. Lee should be a favorite to win the Royal Rumble Match and face McIntyre at WrestleMania. This would be a great title match for the Show of Shows, pitting two forces of nature against each other.

Thanks everyone who have been sharing what they felt. It's been a special conversation.I encourage you all... REACH for all that you want, with all that you are! Hope the rest of your week is good. #GrindWell#Leegion pic.twitter.com/XSWxbWngEs

Keith Lee would provide Drew McIntyre with a challenge unlike anything he has faced in 2020, including Randy Orton. However, it should happen at WrestleMania or after the event. There is another potential opponent for the Scottish Warrior in the shorter term, in time for Royal Rumble.
