WWE Star Keith Lee Reveals this Dragon Ball-Z Character Inspired his Finishing Move

WWE Superstar Keith Lee recently spoke about his finishing move ‘Big Bang Catastrophe’. Lee made his NXT debut in 2018 defeating Kassius Ohno. During his reign in NXT, he fought many matches and was close to the Championship opportunity he desired. Soon, Lee got his hands on the first title. He won the NXT North American Championship by defeating Roderick Strong.

Later, Lee defended his title against Dominik Dijakovic and fans began to step onto the hype train. At the Great American Bash, Lee defeated Adam Cole in a winner takes all match. He won the NXT Championship, becoming the first to hold both NXT titles at the same time. At NXT Takeover XXX, he lost his NXT title to Karrion Kross.

On 24 August 2020, Lee made his Raw debut against Randy Orton. Although he lost the match via disqualification, he went on to defeat Randy Orton at PayBack 2020.

Keith Lee talks about what inspired him for his finishing move- ‘Big Bang Catastrophe‘

Keith Lee is a limitless power wrestler. He had dominated many of his opponents with his devastating finishing moves including Randy Orton, Adam Cole, and Dominik Dijakovic. Having participated in the Royal Rumble, Keith Lee is no longer a stranger in the RAW roster.

Recently, Keith Lee featured on the Out of Character podcast with Ryan Satin, where talked about his finishing move. Eventually, he revealed that his finishing move was inspired by the legendary manga anime series “Dragon Ball Z”.

He explained, “I hope Chris Seven watches this. He made a video, and I posted it to my Instagram, where he’s making fun of me because I have gear that is inspired by Broly and I use the Spirit Bomb, but what he doesn’t understand is that I respect Vegeta so much that the Big Bang Catastrophe was inspired by the Big Bang Attack.”

“I just didn’t want to use attack because, respect for him, I wanted to change the word [attack] and catastrophe sounds worse. I wanted to sound cooler. It was a respect move. Vegeta was someone who drew me into the anime world and so my mega finisher is inspired by the Big Bang Attack.” [h/t Fightful]

Given the fever with which Keith Lee describes the inception of his signature move, it’s clear that he is a hardcore anime fan.

Currently, Lee is on the RAW roster and recently defeated Akira Tozawa in less than a minute. Keith is one of the WWE Superstars who deserves a title shot and will soon go for that. Should Keith Lee get the WWE Championship opportunity? Tell us in the comments.
