Keith Lee reacts to Brock Lesnar entering the Royal Rumble match at #1

WWE Champion Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman came out on tonight's RAW and the latter talked about Lesnar entering the Royal Rumble match in the #1 spot. The duo was interrupted by WWE 24/7 Champion R-Truth, and the segment ended with Lesnar hitting a thunderous F5 on Truth.

Around the same time, WWE's official Twitter handle posted a tweet, putting over Lesnar's RAW appearance and mentioning the fact that he's going to enter in at #1 in the annual free-for-all. The tweet bagged a reaction from NXT's Keith Lee, who posted a bunch of "Thinking Face" emojis as a response to the tweet. Check out the tweets below:

Lee's response led to fans coming in droves and speculating on a possible face-off between Lee and Lesnar during the Royal Rumble match. Keith Lee is one of the most popular Superstars in NXT at the moment.

He is incredibly agile for a guy his size, and recently turned eyes with his performance at WWE Survivor Series, where he pinned former Universal Champion Seth Rollins during a 5-on-5-on-5 Triple Threat Survivor Series Elimination match, contested between RAW, SmackDown Live, and NXT.

Royal Rumble has given the WWE Universe tons of never-before-seen face-offs in the past. Watching Lee and Lesnar go at it during the Rumble match would be something the WWE Universe wouldn't want to miss for anything.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
