Who was WWE's breakout star of 2018?

#5 Keith Lee "Limitless"

Limitless Keith Lee

Ten years ago, the prospect of a superstar wrestler like Keith Lee, the Limitless one, would have been very poor for the WWE. Lee has a unique body shape which, in spite of his tremendous athletic ability, makes the uneducated, upon first glance believe he is overweight and out of shape.

But it's a new day in WWE. Thanks to athletes such as Samoa Joe, the Samoan Submission Machine, and Kevin Owens, the paradigm of what a WWE athlete should look like has changed tremendously. Keith Lee no longer has to worry about his natural build being a hindrance to his wrestling career.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

He created an instant sensation when he made his NXT debut and invited fans and superstars alike to "Bask in his glory." With such a great, ready-made slogan that could be emblazoned upon t-shirts and posters, Lee is in a good place with the WWE. His physical and speedy style have made him a great candidate for Breakout star of the year.
