WWE: 5 awesome North American Title matches for The Velveteen Dream

Keith Lee

I can’t think of an opponent who would make more sense for The Velveteen Dream than Keith Lee, because the story almost writes itself. Lee has been introduced to the WWE Universe – and seems to be feuding with old five-star mate Dominik Dijakovic – but we still haven’t seen ALL of what he’s capable of in NXT.

A North American Championship match against The Dream could elevate Lee to stardom. More importantly, Lee may want to exact revenge on behalf of Matt Riddle, because while Riddle may have unfinished business after being rolled up, he likely won’t get any further opportunities at The Dream. Instead, it could be Lee who targets the 23-year-old sensation, going after the North American Championship.

Lee probably won’t win a title this early in his career in NXT, but he and The Dream will tear the roof off the place. There’s no doubt that Lee is one of the most talented men in WWE, and his full skill-set and story-telling capabilities could be unleashed against The Dream. Lee is one of the few wrestlers in WWE who can stand toe-to-toe with the NXT TakeOver: WarGames star on the mic, and this has the chance to be a memorable feud in NXT.

Here’s to hoping Lee gets his chance to rival The Velveteen Dream at some point in the future. Lee is currently dealing with an unknown injury, but when he’s ready to compete, we’ll be waiting for this match.
