Keith Lee picked up some serious momentum during his time in NXT, but unfortunately for him that momentum didn’t transfer over to the main roster when he got called up. In recent weeks WWE had been trying to tweak Lee’s gimmick by pushing the Bearcat nickname, and on Thursday the company cut ties with him when he was released from his contract.
Wade Keller recently discussed Keith Lee’s status with WWE on PWTorch’s VIP ad-free audio show, and Keller claimed he was told that the former NXT Champion had “perceived attitude issues.”
“Keith Lee, I have chronicled for months and months and months and months and months, was somebody that even people that were rooting for him behind the scenes, became frustrated with him. He just had, in general, attitude issues.
Or, as one wrestler told me tonight, “perceived attitude issues,” edging a little bit, others have said outright… attitude problems. He just was frustrated. I’ve heard different things about him in terms of his mood being altered way more than it should in the modern era, about being asked to do a job.”
It’s believed that Keith Lee will be a free agent when his 90 day non-compete clause expires in February. Stay tuned for updates as they become available.
