#3 WWE RAW Superstar Keith Lee breaks silence on his prolonged absence

Keith Lee is expected to return soon

WWE Superstar Keith Lee has been missing from television for almost two months. He was initially expected to be a part of a triple-threat match for the United States Championship at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. However, Lee had to miss the show, and Riddle defeated John Morrison and Bobby Lashley for the gold. The Original Bro eventually lost the title to Sheamus at WrestleMania.

Keith Lee recently addressed his absence and said that he misses the fans. Here’s what Lee had to say:

"I miss you guys, as well as all the others that expressed this sentiment... whether in dm's, tweets, or comments. I miss you all. But do not fret. I will fight like no other to return...and when I do, we got a LOT of ground to cover. 💜 #Leegion”

Backstage reports suggest that Lee was initially supposed to beat Bobby Lashley for the United States Championship. However, he was forced to maintain distance from the ring due to health concerns. He is expected to return on WWE RAW as soon as he is medically cleared.
