5 Best Tag Team Partners Of Keith Lee's Career (& 4 Worst)

Keith Lee is beloved by professional wrestling fans due to the in-ring qualities he has, and the personality that he brings to the ring. He has had a great career so far, whether it be competing for top promotions such as WWE and AEW, or working on the independent scene.

Lee has proven himself as a main event singles wrestler, with his hard-hitting style being mixed with great athletic ability which makes him fun to watch. However, he has teamed up with others in the past at times, with some of those partnerships working out well for him, while others have fallen flat.

9 Best: Matt Riddle

Matt Riddle and Keith Lee are two men that have worked together countless times over the years, on both the independent scene and as part of NXT and WWE's main roster. They have great chemistry together as partners, and that is something that has always been clear to see inside the ring.

Their matches are always filled with excitement, and when it comes to their performances the duo have managed to win the vast majority of their encounters as a team, proving how good of a partner Riddle has been at times.

8 Worst: Yuji Nagata

Yuji Nagata is a legend of the wrestling business, and someone who is more than capable of putting on a fantastic match at any point, against anybody. However, when Keith Lee got the chance to team up with him in 2017, that didn't end up working out.

They are both great wrestlers, but as a tag team they didn't come together well which ultimately led to them falling short and losing the match. Despite the fact fans were eager to see them work as a team, that didn't necessarily translate in the ring.

7 Best: Shane Taylor

Shane Taylor and Keith Lee were a dominant tag team during their time working together for Ring Of Honor, with the two men being thrown into a team to which they completely committed to. Both men are fantastic wrestlers in their own right, and seeing them as a team worked well.

They provided an intimidating presence inside the ring due to the size of them both, but the fact they could then back it up inside the ring helped to make the tag team an excellent one that people were gripped by.

6 Worst: Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman seems like an ideal partner for Keith Lee due to the fact he is another huge wrestler that brings a lot of power to the ring. Because of that, most people would presume that they would work well as a tag team because they should've dominated everyone in their way.

However, when they teamed up on Monday Night Raw in a six-man tag team match they ended up coming up short. Retribution were the team to beat them as well, making the situation even more surprising considering that the faction was a weak one overall.

5 Best: Dominik Dijakovic

Dominik Dijakovic is best known to wrestling fans as one of Keith Lee's greatest rivals, with the two men bringing the best out of each other inside the ring. The reason for that is the similar styles that they have, as both men can work as powerhouse heavyweights, while being capable of insane aerial moves.

That is why they were great when coming together, as it was a case of rivals coming together to work as friends. They scored a win against Undisputed Era, and they also picked up a win inside of WarGames.

4 Worst: Bronson Reed

Bronson Reed is another wrestler that worked a similar style to Keith Lee, being a big guy that can move around the ring which made them an interesting force to be put together. That took place at an NXT live event in a six-man tag team match, but they didn't end up getting the victory.

Even though they had the power advantage on the day, it wasn't enough to translate into victories, which was a shame as if WWE had put some effort in they could've been fantastic.

3 Best: Sheamus

Sheamus has spent a large chunk of his career working in the tag team scene, therefore he knows how to adapt and work with someone well which was the case when he worked with Keith Lee. The two of them shared the ring several times on Monday Night Raw, and for the most part, they had a lot of success.

They both work an extremely physical style, therefore it shouldn't be a huge surprise that they were able to connect and be victorious. Their hard-hitting styles came together nicely to create some engaging matches at that time, which helped Sheamus be a memorable partner for him.

2 Worst: Mia Yim

On paper, a tag team between Keith Lee and Mia Yim should be brilliant considering the fact that they are legitimately husband and wife, meaning their chemistry should be off the charts However, while they could work brilliantly if they were given a lengthy run as a team, that hasn't happened to this point in their careers.

Despite that, the pair did get the chance to work alongside each other in NXT for a couple of matches against Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae. However, both of those matches ended up in defeat for them, proving that they weren't quite able to connect as a team inside the ring.

1 Best: Swerve Strickland

Throughout the majority of Keith Lee's career, he has pushed himself as a singles wrestler, and that is where all of his championship success has come. However, that all changed when he arrived in AEW and ended up in a random tag team with Swerve Strickland.

Initially, they appeared to be rivals who fans expected to turn on each other at any point, yet they worked things out which was a fun storyline to witness. The two men have worked as babyfaces and heels, putting on some amazing matches while they enjoyed a run as AEW World Tag Team Champions as well.
