The former NXT Champion officially debuted on the main roster as the 13th entrant in the 2020 Royal Rumble match. The first person he collided with was Brock Lesnar. The Beast was on a rampage, having tossed out eleven other competitors. However, Lee wasn't afraid of Lesnar and took the fight to him. Their showdown had the WWE Universe buzzing. Lesnar eliminated Lee while the latter was fighting with Braun Strowman.

Lee arrived on the main roster full-time in late August when Lesnar's contract expired. The Limitless One built momentum by defeating stars like Randy Orton, Dolph Ziggler, and Andrade. He inserted himself into the US Championship picture in early 2021 but had to pull out of the title match due to injury before the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

The former NXT North American Champion hasn't been seen since February, but he promised to return.

I hear many of you. I see many of the messages. One day, I will explain it all for the ones true to me.For now, know that I more than appreciate the continued support.And WHEN I return, it will be filled with all the love I have for those that represent this #LEEGION

Keith Lee vs. Brock Lesnar would be a colossal dream match worthy of closing out WrestleMania next year. Lesnar is the perfect stepping stone for Lee to ascend to the top. The Beast Incarnate could put over Lee at WrestleMania 38, and a new WWE Champion could be crowned.
