Keith Lee Releases Statement After WWE Release, Says He Paid His Own Medical Expenses

Keith Lee put out a statement on social media today following his release from WWE on Thursday.

Lee looked forward to the future and said that he paid his own medical expenses, apparently responding to WWE fans who said that he should be grateful for WWE paying his medical bills during his health scare this year. Lee revealed a couple of months ago that he missed several months of time this year because he got COVID-19, which led to a life-threatening heart inflammation issue that eventually subsided.

Lee’s statement:

Greetings and salutations. This day is my birthday! It is not a happy birthday, but it is one I am most grateful for. Several months ago, it was not a guarantee I would make it to this day, so there is positivity in that. I paid all my medical bills from the many offices and machines I frequented. There is posivity in that. And, I do find it amusing that people believe anyone but me paid for my medical expenses.

I was going to wait a couple weeks, but I think it’s time to look toward the future, forward march as I like to say. I am capable of so much more and I can’t wait to see what it looks like properly. I have a wide array of interests and abilities…. I also consider myself to be rather open minded. Here’s to a future that, for all intents and purposes….seems Limitless.

Thank you for all the positivity that has been dropped on me the past few days as well as the birthday wishes. I love you. Worry not. We are not done. We work.#BaskInMyGlory #iAmLimitless pic.twitter.com/NkxqL6qkWM
