WWE released eighteen superstars from their contract on November 4th, 2021. This list also includes some shocking names like Nia Jax, Keith Lee, Karrion Kross and more. Following his release, former NXT Champion Keith Lee opened up about his release via Twitter.
Keith Lee took the Twitter and thanked fans for their support. Lee also mentioned his health issues which he discussed few months back and revealed that he paid his own medical expenses. It’s a difficult time for him right now and he has confidence in himself to create a better future.
“Greetings and salutations. This day is my birthday! It is not a happy birthday, but it is one I am most grateful for. Several months ago, it was not a guarantee I would make it to this day, so there is positivity in that. I paid all my medical bills from the many offices and machines I frequented. There is posivity in that. And, I do find it amusing that people believe anyone but me paid for my medical expenses. I was going to wait a couple weeks, but I think it’s time to look toward the future, forward march as I like to say. I am capable of so much more and I can’t wait to see what it looks like properly. I have a wide array of interests and abilities…. I also consider myself to be rather open minded. Here’s to a future that, for all intents and purposes….seems Limitless,” said Keith Lee
Thank you for all the positivity that has been dropped on me the past few days as well as the birthday wishes. I love you. Worry not. We are not done. We work.#BaskInMyGlory #iAmLimitless pic.twitter.com/NkxqL6qkWM

Last month, Keith Lee took the Twitter to explain why he had been sidelined from WWE television for seven months and revealed that a combination of a COVD-19 diagnosis and the discovery of a heart inflammation had led to some “very scary times.”
The first recording of this went over 13 minutes…..so I said and detailed far less, but I said enough.https://t.co/AtvGzJF7FX
