Keith Lee has had a dream start to his career on the WWE main roster. The ‘Limitless One’ defeated The ‘Legend Killer’ Randy Orton at Payback.
Even though the contest between Lee and Orton wasn’t a squash match, the ‘Limitless One’ made quick work of the Viper. Randy Orton’s months of momentum has been halted by two back-to-back losses to Drew McIntyre and Keith Lee.

Lee’s debut on Raw didn’t make the WWE Universe very happy because of his changed ring gear and entrance theme. However, the fans still keenly awaited his first in-ring match on the main roster.
Unfortunately, Lee walking out to the ring at Payback in the same ring gear and entrance music as on Raw got the online fans irritated. The match started by Orton wanting respect from Lee. Unsurprisingly, Lee reminded Orton to bask in his glory.

Both superstars went tooth and nail and put everything they had to try and win the match. Soon, Lee countered the RKO with a spirit bomb and pinned The Legend Killer clean.
