Keith Lee faced off against Marcel Barthel for the first time as a WWE Superstar, and Lee got off to a winning start!
In case you didn't know...
Keith Lee was reportedly offered a deal by WWE back in March according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and faced Kassius Ohno in a match at Axxess during WrestleMania weekend.
Standing at 6-foot-2, the 320-pound Texan Lee hit the news when he appeared in the crowd during Aleister Black and Lars Sullivan’s NXT Title Match at TakeOver: Chicago II.
Lee is also a former member of the Texas A&M football squad and had been courted by sports agents to pursue a career on the gridiron - but he chose to follow his dreams and pursue a wrestling career. Lee is truly "Limitless" as his agility and power know no bounds, as he destroys preconceptions about what it means to be a super-heavyweight.
Keith Lee was officially announced as a WWE wrestler this week.
The heart of the matter
Keith Lee debuted for WWE tonight at the NXT tapings against Marcel Barthel. Lee looks to be going by "Keith Lee" and still using his "Limitless" nickname on the yellow brand, too.
Lee made short work of Barthel in what was essentially a showpiece match to introduce Limitless to the NXT crowd, and the giant star beat Barthel with his fireman's carry into a jackhammer style finisher.
What's next?
Well, there's no confirmation as to whether this match will be televised or if it was just for the house, like Ricochet and War Machine's NXT debuts - but in a world of social media, nothing is a secret any more.
It's awesome to see NXT throw Lee in at the deep end, though. He's an experienced star and one that will have the crowd in the palm of his hand in no time.
