Keith Lee has been maintaining a distance from in-ring action for quite a while now. Given Lee’s quick ascent to the top, his absence from WWE since February raised quite a few questions about his future. While fans were hopeful of his return, silence from his side kept the uncertainty rising each day.
However, after a long period of keeping everyone in the blind spot, he took to Twitter to clear the air. The short yet substantial message addressed towards his fans expressed his appreciation for them. The former NXT Champion revealed that he’ll be returning to action soon.
Keith Lee sort of delivered a determined message, “I miss you guys, as well as all the others that expressed this sentiment… whether in dm’s, tweets, or comments. I miss you all. But do not fret. I will fight like no other to return…and when I do, we got a LOT of ground to cover.”

This certainly proves there won’t be any shortage of action when he gets back in business. The message fired up wrestling fans who’ll be anticipating the Limitless One‘s return to action.
Keith Lee was successful before entering the main roster
Keith Lee signed up with WWE back in 2018 and was immediately sent to NXT. He was highly successful on the black and gold brand, winning numerous accolades. In fact, he became the first wrestler to win the NXT Championship and NXT North American Championship simultaneously.
However, he went on to Raw following his Title loss at TakeOver: XXX. Lee faced Randy Orton for his first match, but Drew McIntyre interrupted it. Eventually, he was involved in a series of matches with Orton and McIntyre.
Then, Lee was all set to face Riddle and Bobby Lashley for the United States championship, but he withdrew due to an injury. Since then, Lee has not appeared on WWE TV.
