Former NXT Champion Keith Lee isn’t exactly sticking his toe into the pool now that he has arrived on the red brand.
Instead, he’s jumping right into the deep end for a heavyweight collision with 13-time World Champion Randy Orton, who was narrowly edged by Drew McIntyre in a vicious slugfest for the WWE Title at SummerSlam.
When The Legend Killer viciously ambushed McIntyre in the backstage area and went to the ring to address that very title bout the next night on Raw, Lee interrupted Orton and immediately challenged him to an impromptu singles clash. Before a winner could be determined, however, McIntyre interfered to get another piece of Orton, resulting in the match being thrown out.
And when McIntyre was being interviewed backstage shortly thereafter, Orton struck again and leveled McIntyre with a punt kick for the second time in one night. A seething Lee then vowed justice for his friend.
What will happen when the heavyweight with the agility of a Cruiserweight collides with the sadistic Legend Killer?
