Any truth to the rumours I’m hearing that it was a heart problem that was keeping him out? Just saw some Twitter chat that seemed to reference that as though it was actually confirmed at some point. That is the big assumption going around because it is obvious his overall conditioning especially his cardio has completely fell into the basement. He isn't moving anywhere like he used to , isn't as explosive etc the difference between how he looked tonight to lets how he looked against Brock in the rumble is two different human beings.

I just hope the dude is OK. I know they had to clear him for him to be in there but it’s rough.

They should take him off TV. He's clearly not physically ready for this and if they're not going to push him, what's the point in having him there?

I really hope he is to and he can get back to where he was just in the ring because age isn't really on his side but there is still time to build him and get him to the point where maybe he can be the face of the company many had him being and make a ton of money with him even if it is just a 3-4yr window.

I'd be shocked if he hadn't gone through a serious medical issue. He was gaining weight back before he even took his leave from WWE and now that he is back he looks even worse...
Maybe he wants out and he's chosen to honor his contractual dates before he leaves and tries to refocus himself. Idk if Lee is actually ever gonna tell us what happened but at this point it really feels like a lot went down with him and it's very hard to ignore it when you see him currently.

The match was good but Lee did look a little slower than usual. I’m guessing whatever kept him out for so long will take a little bit of time for him to work through. He’s certainly not down and out just because he lost a couple of matches though. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t US or IC champ by the end of the year.

"Hey guys, respect my privacy, but like, I have something totally mindblowing to tell you all!" "Hey guys, lemme tell you something... next week?" "Hey guys, don't give up on me, I swear, it'll be all worth it!!!" "Hey guys, two more weeks before I tell you something huge!"
Ugh. STFU already. (That being said, I hope he is healthy)

Don't know about a heart issue but he did have some serious issues post-covid. His last match before disappearing he had breathing issues with his pulse-ox being extremely low which is they took him off the road.

Personally all signs point to a covid issue,but I wont especulate too much.

Alvarez said Keith deleted a tweet last night on WOL where he made a comment about losing last 2 weeks? Anybody see that?

It has to be long COVID. I won't chalk it up to a lack of conditioning by itself, because I can't imagine that he wouldn't at least try to keep himself going throughout all this. The only reason he might not be openly sharing the issue is because he's not allowed to be open. The idea that _anyone_ could suffer long-term COVID consequences because of WWE's foot-dragging on the pandemic acknowledgement and response.

Apparently according to Bryan he was ranting about his creative direction having lost his first two matches back. Then he went back to his cryptid self. Something tells me Keith isn't gonna be with the company much longer...

I feel like this, "Constantly, for months on end, promise people you'll be giving them info on what you've been going through soon and then forever continue to hype it while giving no elaboration," thing would be a brilliant heel gimmick because it's unbelievably annoying.

Dude looks bigger than ever, tired and frankly out of shape.
He may have had a medical issue keeping him down, and adding to those things, but I would not be surprised to hear about him being told to lose weight - as we've seen WWE ask of other bigger guys over the years - if he keeps looking like that.
I have a feeling this may turn in to a very bitter 'What if' situation when all is said and done...

This isn’t necessarily to doubt you or Alvarez, but I feel like someone would’ve dug up a screencap by now as proof that this actually happened. He’s got like 190k followers, someone must’ve caught it and thought to cap such a contentious tweet.
