#3 Injecting Keith Lee into the WWE title picture

While Clash of Champions is expected to feature another Drew McIntyre-Randy Orton WWE title match, would it make sense to have it now without any involvement from Keith Lee?

Keith Lee defeated the WWE title challenger and the 13-time World Champion, which in itself, should be enough to secure a title shot. Not only that, but a Triple Threat direction for Clash of Champions would be exciting.

Unlike the main event of Payback, however, this would ideally be a legitimate Triple Threat Match and not one where a competitor appears later on to claim the win. While we understand WWE's reasoning behind that, this one would be different.

This would present an explosive Triple Threat match where Keith Lee wouldn't have to win the WWE title at all. Just having a presence in a World Championship match in his second PPV singles match would mark an unprecedented start to a PPV record.

Will WWE inject Keith Lee into the World title picture on RAW?
