NXT North American Champion Keith Lee spoke about a wide range of topics while doing an interview with PWInsider. Here are the highlights:
NXT being on the USA Network now:
“I think that the amount of people that see us has grown. There’s more opportunity for competitors like myself, who may not have had a lot of time or opportunity to showcase themselves, or what they’re capable of, to maybe get that opportunity, and maybe get that chance to show that and know a little bit more on something that I take great joy in. Getting those opportunities in that competition has been helpful for many people, I feel like.”
Who he wants to face in NXT:
“I don’t know. I liked the way you worded that, when I get past Damian Priest, because that’s exactly how I feel about it. Pardon me. My throat’s a little testy. If I have to choose opponents, it’s a really, really tough call. I think even though he competes mostly on 2055, I think that Isaiah Swerve Scott is somebody that would be worthy competition without a doubt. Matt Riddle. We are boys, we are close but when it comes to fighting, just like myself and let it go, it is a matter of perspective, a love for competition. I know that he would jump at the opportunity. Those are the first two that come to mind. I think a battle between myself and Adam Cole would be something very interesting, whether it’s for both battles or a competition and then there will be something special at the end of the day. It’s a matter of time, I think.”
