The match on the latest edition of WWE Raw between Keith Lee and Braun Strowman ended in double count-out. The brawl went to the stage as Lee put Strowman through the LED boards.
The segment ended with Lee charging ‘The Monster Among Men’ as both superstars fell off the stage onto the floor. The brawl had such great intensity and ruthlessness that it has given WWE Adam Pearce a great thought for the new post-draft future.
So @BraunStrowman and @RealKeithLee… run it back? Someday?

It all began this past week on WWE Raw. SmackDown superstar Braun Strowman appeared out of nowhere and confronted WWE Producer Adam Pearce in the back. The Monster among men appeared on Raw, even though there wasn’t any Raw Underground.
Strowman wanted a match and was ready to destroy the locker room if it wasn’t given to him. All Pearce could promise was an exhibition match which was then accepted by Keith Lee.

WWE could be planning a huge kick start to Keith Lee’s career with this rivalry
Keith Lee has had the year of his life in the WWE. He won the NXT North American Championship on the 22nd January edition of NXT. Subsequently, he appeared on the main roster at the Royal Rumble and faced off against Brock Lesnar.
He lived the best night of his life on July 8th on the second night of NXT: The Great American Bash. ‘The Limitless One’ ended Adam Cole’s 403-day historic reign and became a double champion.
He relinquished the North American title and focused only on his NXT Championship. Unfortunately, in August at NXT Takeover: XXX, Keith Lee lost his NXT Championship to Karrion Kross.

His fortunes turned overnight as he was announced to be making his debut on Raw during WWE PPV SummerSlam. However, he hasn’t got off to a great start. Lee has participated in high-profile matches but is yet to register a main roster victory. He won a squash match at Payback against Randy Orton, but that rivalry didn’t go any further too.

If this battle with Strowman takes off post the draft, it can be a great launchpad for his career. However, it will be interesting to see which superstar shifts to either brand.
