Keith Lee is off tonight at the payout event for the elimination room.
WWE confirmed on social media this afternoon that Keith Lee would not be able to compete tonight, citing injuries sustained by Bobby Lashley’s attack on Raw two weeks ago. The fateful four-way match takes place tonight in the preview in front of the elimination room, with the winner facing Riddle and Lashley in a triple threat match for Lashley’s American title. PWInsider originally reported this afternoon that Lee was off the event.
The participants in the fateful four-round match include Mustafa Ali, Ricochet, Elias and John Morrison.
The U.S. title game was set on Raw two weeks ago when Keith defeated Lee Riddle. Lashley then came out and attacked both men, laying Lee out with steel stairs and submitting Riddle in The Hurt Lock. It was later announced that both men would face Lashley in a triple threat match. Over last Monday’s Raw, it was mentioned in comments that Lee may have been injured as a result of Lashley’s attack.
