WWE “had an issue with the way that I speak” says former superstar Keith Lee

Former WWE Superstar Keith Lee has come out against his old employer regarding their attitude towards how he delivered his promos.

Keith Lee signed for WWE in 2018 and made a huge name for himself performing for the NXT brand. However, Lee was released from his contract in 2021, after a fairly subdued run on WWE’s main roster.

In a recent conversation with Hall of Famer Mark Henry on the Busted Open Radio show, The Bearcat spoke of how WWE possibly did not like the cadences in his voice as well as the manner in which he delivered his promos.

“Listen, it’s something that Mark and I talked about years ago, maybe I think I was still in NXT at the time. He knows I am open to that. Especially since in that particular place, most people had an issue with the way that I speak and my demeanor in how I speak, and my cadence.” Lee added; “I don’t know what it is about. Maybe my voice or maybe its vocal tone, whatever it may be, was a bit of an issue there.” (H/T ITR Wrestling)

Keith Lee certainly had a unique way at delivering his lines during his promos for WWE.

The occasion was made even more special when it was revealed that hardcore legend Mick Foley officiated the wedding ceremony. Foley reached out to Lee and Yim in early 2021 to offer up his services as a wedding officiant.

After the wedding, the former NXT Champion took to Twitter to thank Foley for his role during the event.
