Keith Lee reacts after 37-year-old star suddenly announces WWE departure

A 37-year-old star suddenly announced his departure from WWE and Keith Lee has now reacted to this announcement.

Dijak was one of the most entertaining stars on the roster during his time in NXT. He was doing incredibly well and had noteworthy feuds and matches against some of the top stars on the roster. However, his push was derailed after he was called up to the main roster to join RETRIBUTION. After a failed run on the main roster, Dijak returned back to NXT where he continued to put on stellar matches.

During the recently concluded WWE Draft, Dijak was drafted to RAW. However, he never appeared on the brand following the draft. Dijak just took to social media to announce that he will be leaving the Stamford-based promotion once his contract expires. Keith Lee who had some incredible matches with him took the time to react to this announcement on social media.

"This is quite unfortunate.... but it won't stop that engine. The professional wrestling world should consider tightening its collective seatbelt."

Konnan says WWE labelled Keith Lee as "lazy"

Keith Lee signed with NXT in 2018 and quickly became one of the brand's biggest stars. At one point, he held both the NXT and the North American Championships. However, after he was called up to the main roster, Lee's starpower fizzled and he was soon released from the promotion.

Speaking on his Keepin' It 100 podcast, Konnan said that WWE labelled Keith as "lazy".

"I feel sorry for Keith Lee because I worked with him in the indies in Crash, and he was incredible and I think that's why they thought he was gonna be a game-changer. And then when he went to NXT, and we both got this from the same source, he was labelled as lazy, blowing up quick. Then he went over to AEW and for a while he was coming out with grey hair and a grey beard, I was like, 'Bro, you look way older than you really are, why are you doing that?' And they never really did anything that interesting with him and he just got too big to be the wrestler he was before," Konnan said. [1:33 - 2:11]

Keith Lee hasn't been involved in many notable storylines as of late in AEW. It remains to be seen if he will be able to get his career back on track.
