Keith Lee Makes His NXT TV Debut (Video), Kaitlyn On Her Mae Young Classic Experience, SummerSlam ’05

– Keith Lee entered his NXT debut match with plenty of hype and big expectations, and the “Limitless” Superstar did not disappoint.

Facing Marcel Barthel from Germany, who was also making his NXT TV debut, Lee showed what all the buzz was about, moving around the ring like a cruiserweight despite being built like a human tank. Lee immediately impressed fans with his unbelievable agility, leapfrogging Barthel and hitting him with a dropkick. Lee displayed immense power, too, throwing Barthel across the ring out of a front face lock.

Barthel, however, wouldn’t be defeated easily. A proud proponent of the classic European style of wrestling, Barthel whacked Lee with hard uppercuts and a double thrust to the throat before dodging a big avalanche attempt by the 300-pounder.

In the end, though, Lee would not be denied victory in his first outing on WWE Network. Lee bulldozed Barthel with a pounce before smashing him into the canvas with a modified Jackhammer for the pin.

Here is what Lee has to say about his NXT debut.

Humble gratitude for all the positive feedback on the debut last night. Let us see what kind of ride we can create. Only time will tell…#BaskInMyGlory for #iAmLimitless pic.twitter.com/Tl1uZbslpr
