According to reports from PWTorch, indie star Keith Lee has signed a developmental deal with the WWE.
Lee has previously worked for Ring of Honor, EVOLVE Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla and has been fairly successful on the indie scene. He beat Kassius Ohno and Lars Sullivan in two matches on two nights last month at WrestleMania Axxess in what would be his couple of first matches in the WWE.
Even though Keith has reportedly signed with the WWE, he still has dates in other promotions.
PWG has already announced the Bask in His Glory event which will be in name of Keith Lee’s farewell which is going to take place on May 25.
