Keith Lee made his return to WWE programming a few weeks ago, and even though he’s been cleared to compete he has not been consistently featured on TV as of late. Over the last few weeks Lee has been working dark matches at both Raw and SmackDown tapings.
According to PWInsider the recent dark matches, which have been designed to be short squash matches for Keith Lee, are being used as a way to refine Lee so WWE can decide what works best for him moving forward.
Keith Lee returned to WWE last month after he had been absent from WWE programming since February. He recently opened up about his absence and noted that he tested positive for COVID-19 then experienced issues with his heart that kept him off TV.
The former NXT Champion wrestled prior to Raw this week when he squashed a local competitor. Stay tuned for more updates on Keith Lee’s status as they become available.
