WWE Survivor Series 2019 saw Roman Reigns be the sole survivor for Team SmackDown. He got the victory for his brand against RAW and NXT in the men's traditional Survivor Series elimination match. While it was Reigns who stood undefeated at the end of the match, the man that impressed the most was Keith Lee. Representing Team NXT at that time, he pinned Seth Rollins and almost got the better of Reigns before falling short.

Following the match, Reigns showed respect to Lee in what was a true star-making moment. That visual alone of the two bumping fists was enough for fans to want to see a proper feud between the two WWE Superstars.

Almost 18 months later, Roman Reigns is now this vicious heel on SmackDown. On the other hand, Keith Lee has also made his main roster debut and is part of RAW but has been out of action for a while. WWE could book Lee's return and make him jump ship to SmackDown where he could confront the Universal Champion and challenge him for his title.

The brief history between the two men is enough to play into the storyline. Keith Lee is also someone who could believably overpower and take down Roman Reigns. The Limitless One has shown how great a babyface champion he could be during his time on NXT, and maybe it's time WWE puts faith in him and let him be the star that he is.
