WWE SmackDown's Roman Reigns To NXT's Keith Lee: "I Want A One-On-One Match Against You"
Big revelation from Keith...
One of the highlights from Survivor Series 2019 was Keith Lee's participation in the mammoth men's elimination tag match.
Towards the end of the bout, Lee was left in the ring with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. The NXT North American Champion dismissed the Monday Night Messiah from the match before having an epic showdown with Reigns. Unfortunately for Lee and NXT, Roman would end up winning the match for SmackDown.
Keith appeared on last night's episode of WWE Backstage and spoke about the Survivor Series match, revealing Roman told him he wants the pair to have a big singles match down the line: “That day was obviously just as intense. I didn’t know what was going on and I ended up being the last three to remain in that match. It was quite the squabble with Roman Reigns who was the last to kick out of a Spirit Bomb for crying out loud and he speared me out of my boots onto my neck. After that, that moment set a tone for me. After that he told me straight-up that ‘I want a one-on-one match against you."
