Everyone is talking about Keith Lee. The NXT Superstar rose to the occasion at Survivor Series and almost won the match for his team. However, he couldn't overcome Roman Reigns, who pinned Lee in the end to get the win for SmackDown in the Men's Elimination Tag Team match. Irrespective of the outcome, a star was born at Survivor Series.

There has been a lot of backstage talk about Keith Lee since his star-making performance at the PPV.

WrestlingNews.co reports that Vince McMahon likes Lee a lot and everyone backstage are very happy to see the Superstar finally get the recognition he richly deserves.

Lee was described as a hard-working individual who never complained and showed up to do the work. A backstage source also went on to say that he would like to see Lee show up on RAW with a manager and defeat Brock Lesnar to become the new WWE Champion before going on a long reign with the title.

Here's what is being talked about backstage as revealed in WrestlingNews.co's report:

“He doesn’t complain and he shows up to do the work. We all know how good he is and this was his night to show everyone what he can do. Vince likes him and I think he’ll be on RAW or SmackDown in a few months."
"I would put one of the main belts on him. If they don’t want to beat Bray then put him in there with Brock. I think people can believe Keith can beat Brock. He has what Vince is looking for. I would maybe give him a manager and give him a long run as champion. He works as hard or harder than anyone and never b***hes or complains about anything. I’m so happy for him.”

#3. WWE's plan for CM Punk

CM Punk may have no plans to wrestle anytime soon but the WWE can always coarse him into activities that don't require him to step into a ring.

As revealed by a report from PWInsider, the company plans on having CM Punk on Stone Cold Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions podcast on the WWE Network.

The Undertaker has already appeared on Steve Austin's show and the WWE wants Punk to also show up and have a chat with the Hall of Famer in the future.

There are no updates regarding when and how it may come to fruition but the idea has been pitched backstage.

For now, you can catch Punk on WWE Backstage on Tuesday nights on FS1.
