Coming off his latest amazing performance Sunday night (Feb. 16) at TakeOver: Portland, NXT North American champion Keith Lee was this week’s featured guest on FS1’s WWE Backstage.
Lee was his usual charismatic self, displaying a lot of humility in the face of praise from Hall of Famers Booker T & Mark Henry while still making it clear he absolutely means it when he calls himself “Limitless” and says everyone should bask in his glory. It’s worth a watch for those who already love Keith, and those who might need some convincing he’s ready for the spotlight WWE’s been giving him since last fall.
A couple of specific soundbites had me marking out. First, as he was talking to Paige about his performance at Survivor Series 2019, Lee revealed what Roman Reigns said to him during that post-match fist bump...

That’s a dream match. So is The Limitless One’s own dream match...

Yes please, I would like to bask in the glory of both of those.
