#2 Giving Keith Lee the dominant debut win

A massive debut

If you're thinking of a great way to debut a Superstar like Keith Lee in the COVID-era of WWE, what better way to do it than by giving him a big win against one of the biggest names in the company?

We don't often see Superstars debut the way Keith Lee has, since every spot he's been involved in on the main roster has been prominent - whether it was taking Roman Reigns to the limit or having a dream face-off against Brock Lesnar.

It's clear that WWE has big things planned for Keith Lee and we haven't seen a debutant being given such a big win since Finn Balor in 2016 - when he won a Triple Threat match, defeated Roman Reigns on his RAW debut, and then won the Universal title on his PPV debut.

Matt Riddle had an impressive debut as well on SmackDown, but he immediately went to feud with King Corbin afterwards, which was a bit underwhelming. And the feud is still going on.
