#2 Keith Lee

Since debuting on NXT, Lee has only been involved in Squash matches and full match against Kona Reeves. This was Lee's biggest challenge since he signed for the WWE, by facing the similarly sized Lars Sullivan. While the two wrestlers are the same size, the styles could not have contrasted more, with Lars Sullivan using strictly a power offence against Lee, while Lee often took to the air and used his agility to try and counter, with many moves you would expect from a smaller wrestler.

One of Lee's greatest attributes is his agility, and his ability to use a high-risk high flying offence as well as a strong power game. Lee was able to hit a regular cross body, a springboard cross body, a Tope Suicida and narrowly missed a Corkscrew Moonsault in this loss to Sullivan. This moveset draws comparisons to some of the other similarly agile big men that have gone through the WWE, like Vader, Bam Bam Bigelow and even The Big Show in his early days. If Lee is to follow in that path, he could have a great career in the WWE.
