People Inside WWE Remain Quiet On Keith Lee’s Absence
Keith Lee hasn’t been seen on WWE television since February, with little revealed regarding his unexpected absence.
Lee was called up to Raw last August, and despite defeating Randy Orton early into his main roster run, things haven’t gone too well for the former NXT Champion ever since.
Mike Johnson noted on PWInsider Elite (subscription required) that Lee’s disappearance was likely more of a creative issue than any injuries he could have suffered, however people inside WWE are remaining quiet on the situation.
“I have never been able to get a full answer on what happened to him. I have been led to believe it’s more of a creative thing than an injury thing, and they just for whatever reason, I don’t know why, I don’t know what the full story is. Whether he just fell foul of Vince McMahon somehow, or there is something going on that they’re keeping close to the vest, which is always possible. I can get a clear read on it, and whoever is close to him, who knows the deal, they’re not talking.”
Lee’s fiancée, Mia Yim, was set to make her SmackDown debut last week in her first appearance since Retribution’s breakup, however, it was postponed due to timing issues.
Lee has posted several cryptic tweets over the past week potentially hinting at his return to the television in the near future, which you can see below.

Today is a day that can and will define the future. The wheels can have motion and move forward….or…. they can stop completely.
