NXT North American Champion Keith Lee recently spoke with SuperSport about a wide range of topics. Here are the highlights:
What is it about NXT that has drawn in fans from around the world?
“It’s a mixture of things, from being inclusive, trying to make sure that the fans are enjoying whatever it is that they are watching, adapting to them in general, in essence giving them what they want… But also there is a certain level of passion that goes into it. I feel like there is not a lot of talent in the world that takes the amount of pride that we do, in trying to produce the greatest professional wrestling product that we possibly can.
“For me, the goal is to continue that trend and not only do that for NXT but also for my own brand, as a representative for a larger than normal athlete. It’s my duty to represent in a manner that makes me undeniable, not just for me, but for the people that come after me.”
What did you think of the reaction to your face off with Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble?
“In that moment it felt like that was where I was supposed to be… Even though I feel like, it was slightly unexpected the reaction that I got from 42 000 people. They really wanted Keith Lee to show out…They got something special in my opinion… Maybe in the future there is a chance that there is Keith Lee versus Brock Lesnar in a one on one match. I feel like I’m one of the few that can go toe to toe with him… Hopefully, that can come to fruition.”
