#1 Keith Lee wants to face WWE Champion Drew McIntyre

Keith Lee is the man of the moment as The Limitless One defeated Adam Cole at the Great American Bash and became the new WWE NXT Champion. Not only does Lee hold the top NXT title but he is also the North-American Champion.

Keith Lee has established himself as the top name in NXT. While speaking on WWE's The Bump, Keith Lee stated that he would like to face WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. Here is what Keith Lee stated:

Absolutely. Drew McIntyre is someone that I've never had a singles match with, but I guarantee you this: he would like to have one with me, because I ran him out of Evolve, and I ran him out of NXT. I would like to make that idea into a match. I think the WWE Universe would enjoy it because he's a super athlete, he's not normal. Competitively speaking, this [idea] makes my blood boil."

Keith Lee has made some bold claims about chasing out Drew McIntyre. It will be interesting to see what happens if the two monsters clash inside a WWE ring.
