He made his main roster debut in August of and earned a pinfall victory over Randy Orton in his first pay-per-view match at Payback.

He remained out of action until July. He also faced Cedric Alexander last month. His partner Mia Yim has also been released. As for Karrion Kross was a dominant NXT champion, with Bordeaux as his mysterious valet, but his move to the main roster did not work out. He was separated from Bordeaux, and the sheen was also missing from his entrance and then put into several feuds that went nowhere.

Keith Lee getting released is an indictment on Vince McMahon and no one else. Somebody gonna have to explain to me how he's released 14 months later. What are we doing here? More than the reason for his dismissal from the company, it is Lee's wasted potential that most stands out. Lee experienced unprecedented success in NXT, becoming the first and only competitor to hold both the North American and NXT world titles at the same time.

He was a hybrid worker, a big man who could play the dominant force one minute and then soar through the air with relative ease, wiping opponents out with a moonsault that left fans in awe. He was a rare breed, the type of superheavyweight who did not simply walk through the door every day. He was 6'2" and weighed pounds, but he knew exactly how to maneuver that mass around to not only accomplish feats in the ring that no man his size should be able to, but also to set himself apart from the rest of the performers on the roster.

It really is no wonder that Triple H and the rest of the NXT management team felt comfortable strapping both titles on him and letting him have a moment in the sun no other star before—or since—has enjoyed.

Nor was it much of a surprise when, at the Survivor Series, he was one of the final two competitors remaining in the tri-branded, traditional elimination tag match.

On that night, Lee went toe-to-toe with Roman Reigns and had the fans in Chicago firmly behind him. He came within milliseconds of defeating the top star in the business before succumbing to a spear, but it was in defeat that he earned a public show of respect from The Tribal Chief and had fans believing the future was his.

Things only improved two months later at the Royal Rumble, when Lee came face-to-face with Brock Lesnar and nearly ended The Beast's run of dominance. When he debuted on Raw eight months later and spent his first two weeks mixing it up with Randy Orton , there was reason to believe The Limitless One would be headlining WrestleMania as world champion before we knew it.

That was not the case.
