Keith Lee was among 18 wrestlers cut from WWE’s roster this past week. According to comments made by Wade Keller from PW Torch, “perceived attitude issues” may have played a role in his release from the company.
“Keith Lee, I have chronicled for months and months and months and months and months, was somebody that even people who were rooting for him behind the scenes became frustrated with him,” Keller said.
“He just had, in general, attitude issues. Or as one wrestler told me tonight, “perceived attitude issues,” Keller continued.
“He just was frustrated. I’ve heard different things about him in terms of his mood being altered way more than it should in the modern era about being asked to do a job.”

Went from being home 0-1 day a week for a plethora of months to stumbling upon some free time… so I took care of some important business. pic.twitter.com/cRMNuSFGQR
