Keith Lee Becomes First Man to Defeat Karrion Kross Clean as a Whistle on WWE Raw

Keith Lee won his first match since he made his comeback last month, and this victory tastes so good to him because he won none other than the NXT Champion Karrion Kross.

Karrion Kross vs Keith Lee was a rematch between these two wrestlers from last week’s Raw where Kross dominated and the fight and defeated Lee.

Before the match started, while Kross was making his entrance, the WWE Universe gets a pre-recorded message where Kross is holding an hourglass backstage. He says Keith Lee’s time is up and “he too will fall and pray”.

The last time when these two wrestlers met, Kross dominated Lee, and it looked like Lee should not be even in the ring right now.

Lee this time seemed much more confident and clean with his moves, coming out with a counter every time Kross dished an attack, but on the other Kross was showing his champion’s instincts whenever stuck in the match.

Kross and Lee stared at each other for some time, then the NXT champion charges down and they lock up, tangling into the corner and back out.

A few minutes into the match, Lee charges down and Kross dumps him over the top rope but he lands on his feet at the apron. Lee then showcased his athleticism when he launched himself on Kross and delivered a crossbody.

Kross then dominated the match with his ability to work around in the ring, his strength shone when he delivered an overhead suplex into the steel ring steps, leaving him helpless while the referee continued counting.

Keith Lee finally gets his well-deserved win

Towards the ending of the match, the opponents started to dish out more offensive moves with back-to-back attacks on each other. Lee attempted a Spirit Bomb but Kross blocked it.

In retaliation, Kross attempts a Doomsday Saito suplex which Lee blocks as the crowd gets behind Lee. Kross then puts Lee under the Kross Jacket submission and Lee starts to fade.

Lee then Hulks back up, as the crowd cheers for him then catches Kross in the Spirit Bomb in the middle of the ring for the pin to win.

This is your night, @RealKeithLee. The @WWEUniverse stands with you.

Even WWE legend Mick Foley appreciated his win against Kross.

BIG WIN for @RealKeithLee

Is it just me, or does Kross not have that same foreboding aura of confidence when he’s in the #RAW ring.

It can be tough to get that mojo back once it’s lost.

This win marks the first win for Lee after months of hiatus from the ring.
