Keith Lee saw his career reach new hights in 2015. Lee’s arrival in Ring of Honor began an ascent for him that continued on and on that eventually saw him reach the heights of the WWE.
During his WWE 24 documentary, Lee revealed that his road to the WWE had a unique crossroad at the time of his signing. Lee revealed that he had an option to go work in Japan at the same time WWE offered him his NXT contract. Though he did not specify which company that would have been, Lee was in the unique position of being offered an opportunity to choose the next chapter of his career.
Of course, his time on the independent scene came with huge accolades of their own. Working for two major independent promotions like EVOLVE and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla no doubt helped get his name out there. Building up accolades like that can take you even further and to even farther places than a wrestler can dream of like Japan.
“2018 arrives and a place I had decided I wanted to go was Japan. The opportunity came knocking and almost as soon as that opportunity came a’knockin’, so did the WWE.”
While the decision would be difficult for most, Lee quickly decided to choose the WWE.
“It’s like everything else coming full circle. You’re talking about a guy who failed three times and you mean to tell me that when the opportunity comes, to make them stick their foot in their mouth? That I don’t do it? No. Show them exactly why they should’ve yes and prove that I was worthy all along.”
Lee has continued to prove he made the right decision this whole time. The arrival of Lee has quickly turned him into one of the company’s most popular stars and someone who has proven to be an undeniable talent. Lee looks to be well on his way to being one of the main attractions in the company, and hopefully someday the whole WWE fan base will bask in his glory.
