Like Shayna Baszler, Keith Lee is another WWE Superstar whose most memorable moments and storylines came during his time in NXT.

Lee has suffered from health problems in 2021, which explains why he did not appear on television between February and July. Even before his five-month absence, it felt like The Limitless One had become lost in the main-roster shuffle after moving to RAW in 2020.

Fortunately for the former NXT Champion, it looks as though WWE’s higher-ups are looking to reintroduce him to television in the near future.

Since defeating Karrion Kross on the August 2 episode of RAW, Lee has competed in several untelevised matches before RAW and SmackDown shows. This week, he even received a new name – Keith “Bearcat” Lee – before his latest dark match.

Lee is one of the most impressive in-ring performers on the main roster right now. The problem is that he has not had the opportunity to showcase his skills over the last seven months.

Now, with a new nickname confirmed and a possible character change on the horizon, Lee seems destined to receive a push after the upcoming draft.
