WWE NXT North American Keith Lee did an interview with Pro Wrestling Sheet where he spoke about a wide range of topics. Here are the highlights: 

PWS: In that chaos, how did you feel when you found out TakeOver: Tampa Bay was no longer happening and the matches would instead occur during the weekly NXT show on USA Network?

I just shook my shoulders and said, ‘Ok, we doing business here!’ That’s all I said *laughs*. At the end of the day, it’s about the competition and making sure that people still get these matches. I know that there are people that want to be there, but there are important and pressing matters. And we all have to do our best to control that while also giving the people what they want.”

PWS: It’s no secret that WWE had to film shows in advance at the Performance Center due to the coronavirus pandemic, and Stephanie McMahon has talked about the safety protocol the company has in place at each of the shows. How has it felt for you dealing with the extreme change in both backstage protocol, as well as wrestling in front of no audience?

“I think that when you have a passion for this, you do it whether there’s an audience or not an audience. There’s a certain level of competition, particularly when you’re in a triple threat match with your championship on the line with two hyper athletes, that you just kinda have to focus on the battle at hand.

But for me, specifically, I am happy that we have those things because it’s something that I feel is necessary for the sake of everyone’s safety. Ya know, it’s a big product. And if any of us goes down with that, then that means a lot of us go down with that. If a lot of us go down with that, then that puts the product in danger and I prefer to keep this ship running.

Because for me right now I feel like this is a nice … I don’t want to say escape, but I feel like it’s something else for people to focus on rather than the chaos that’s in the world currently.”
