5 Triple H guys WWE recently fired

#1. Former WWE NXT Champion Keith Lee

After wrestling for over a decade on the independent circuit, Keith Lee joined WWE in 2018. He spent two years on NXT, during which he won the NXT Championship and the NXT North American Title.

In August 2020, the former North American Champion was moved to Monday Night RAW. At the time, Lee was one of Triple H's top guys on WWE's third brand. In a recent interview, the 37-year-old disclosed that Triple H tried to keep him on NXT for as long as he could.

"I definitely could have spent more time there, without a doubt, without questions. Let’s be honest, I had not long won the NXT Championship and what, maybe six weeks time before it was 'gotta go.' The reality was, as I understand, the main roster had been wanting to bring me up for a while and it was Triple H trying to keep me for as long as he could. Time was running out and some things are out of our hands," he said.

Lee struggled after moving to the main roster. He spent only a year on RAW, during which he missed five months of action due to health problems. WWE released him from his contract last November.
