Keith Lee was in the midst of a big push earlier this year in WWE. However, the former NXT Champion has not been seen since the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view where he was set to face Lashley and Riddle for the US Championship but was replaced by John Morrison last-minute.

WWE legend Booker T has claimed on his podcast that Keith Lee was in for a major push before his abrupt disappearance. He said the original plans were for Keith Lee to make some 'major moves' in the WWE title picture.

''Bobby Lashley picked up the slack pretty much... came in and took the reins and took off, you know, got the rocket on his back and took off straight to the moon. But, for a second there, that was a spot Keith Lee was about to step right in to, and all of a sudden it was all shut down like that," said Booker T.

Lee received a mixed response from the fan base after his main roster debut. Although Lee has hinted at a possible return soon, there is no update on when he will make his return.
