After a video package focused on the health of Drew McIntyre, Keith Lee made his PPV debut at Payback against McIntyre’s assailant, Randy Orton.
Lee came out to the same generic music that got online fans upset after his Raw premiere, but with slightly improved gear (the bike shorts were under a faux-skirt this time).
Orton started the festivities by demanding respect from the Limitless One.

And after a back-and-forth five+ minute match, the festivities ended with Randy paying Lee the ultimate respect. After Keith countered an RKO into the Spirit Bomb, he put over the former NXT champion clean as a sheet.

Wow. I’m thrilled, but more than a little surprised. You?
