#1 Keith Lee provides details on his recent WWE absence

Last month, Keith Lee returned to WWE following a five-month absence. The former NXT Champion recently detailed the reasons behind why he was out of action for a while.

In a six-minute video, Lee said that a COVID-19 diagnosis in January caused him to miss three weeks of WWE programming.

The current superstar's fiancée, Mia Yim, stuck by his side throughout the recovery process. She tested positive for COVID-19 weeks after he did and had to miss the women's Royal Rumble match as a result.

Although Lee briefly returned for a singles match against Riddle in February, a subsequent case of heart inflammation led to his lengthy absence from television.

"Some people may have experienced this thing where there's an inflammation in the heart or in the lungs, for me it was the heart and that led to very scary times." Keith Lee continued, "I was basically forbidden from training or any activity outside of a light walk, so there was a fear that doing more than that, that there was a chance that I could just up and pass away."

Keith Lee seemed appreciative of the fans who cared about his situation. Now that he is healthy, the 36-year-old looks forward to making the most of what he can do in the company.
