WWE has issued a statement denying that they did not pay Keith Lee's medical bills.

The company said that Lee’s claim on social media that WWE failed to pay his medical bills were “erroneous”.

“Keith Lee’s recent comments implying WWE failed to pay his medical bills are erroneous,” WWE said in the statement. “WWE has an extensive healthcare program for the medical care of its in-ring performers and Mr. Lee was part of this program while with the company. Should Mr. Lee have any concerns over the payment of medical bills, he is welcome to address them with WWE.”

On November 8, Lee released a statement on social media thanking fans for sending him birthday wishes, and also said that only he paid his medical bills while he was out of action due to complications from COVID-19.

“I paid all my medical bills from the many offices and machines I frequented,” he wrote. “There is positivity in that. And, I do find it amusing that people believe anyone but me paid for my medical expenses.”

Lee, along with seventeen other wrestlers from both the main roster and NXT, were released on November 4, with WWE head of talent relations John Laurinaitis citing budget cuts as the reason for the cuts.

Why would they pay for something that didn't happen in their ring?

All sorts of things this could be, from Keith going to places that weren't covered by the WWE to even him not asking to be reimbursed by the company from places under their cover.

The fact they came out on twitter to address this is kinda interesting though.

WWE treating its talent like shit - no shocks.

WWE treating its talent like shit - no shocks.

They don't even pay talent for working over time, just ask woods

another case of he said she said

only the 3728th

 

[Spitfire]

'he said she said' generally lacks any forms of evidence - it seems Keith has receipts

I'm sidin' with WWE on this one. It really is startin' to look like Lee was more of a problem backstage, of course that probably wouldn't be a problem if he showed up to Raw with a proper direction.

I mean yeah I don’t blame wrestlers for getting annoyed when they’re given shitty characters and storylines. If WWE wants to run their company where it’s “shut your mouth and do what you’re told” then you’re gonna have a lot of unhappy superstars.

And there’s just so many stories at this point of wwe treating their talents like shit that you gotta start believing the talents.
