Speaking with SuperSport, Lee commented on the gravity of that moment. Saying although it was unexpected to get such a strong reaction from 42,000 people, he felt like he was right where he is supposed to be in that moment where he squared off with “The Beast Incarnate.”
“In that moment it felt like that was where I was supposed to be,” Keith began. “Even though I feel like it was slightly unexpected the reaction that I got from 42,000 people. They really wanted Keith Lee to show out. They got something special in my opinion… Maybe in the future, there is a chance that there is Keith Lee versus Brock Lesnar in a one on one match. I feel like I’m one of the few that can go toe to toe with him… Hopefully, that can come to fruition.”
