Keith Lee Talks Being Told By WWE To Wear A Shirt

During an interview with Sports Illustrated, Keith Lee opened up about being told by WWE higher-ups that he’d have to wear a shirt upon his highly-anticipated call-up to the main roster the night after SummerSlam this year.

Keith Lee noted that the decision to change his gear was unsurprisingly made by his superiors. He also explained that he said yes to make the people that he works for happy:

“As far as gear goes, my gear is the same as NXT except I have to wear a top right now. Is that my choice? No. But I do what I need to do in order to also keep the people I work for happy. At some point, I will get so big that it won’t matter what other people want because Keith Lee knows what’s best. Someone will figure that out at some point, and then I won’t be wearing a top anymore. Until then, I have no problem with this.”

Keith also opened up about having to change his music from his popular theme in NXT. Lee recorded the lyrics himself and said that he was very proud of the final product:

“I am very happy with my music. There is one little tweak I intend to make over time, but that’s got to be a timing thing and it’s got to be well done for me to make it work the way I want it to. I have some evolutionary ideas for my current music that just hit. In terms of the song itself, I wrote that myself and a lot of it is very personal. I’m very happy with being able to express myself in that manner. Even the track, the guys that did it are brilliant. I’m extremely happy with the way the track sounds. I’m happy with the music overall, and I look forward to the little tweaks I intend to make down the road.”

Keith Lee was part of the fantastic three-way match on Raw last night that also featured AJ Styles and Riddle. Right now, it’s unclear what plans WWE has for Keith Lee as we head into 2021.
