As NXT is set to move to USA Network, they are still airing episodes on the WWE Network. On the most recent episode, Jordan Myles (formerly A.C.H) took on the NXT Champion Adam Cole in a great title match. This isn’t the first time these two have gone to battle. While Jordan Myles was A.C.H, he would have several battles with Adam Cole. We got here by Jordan Myles winning the breakout superstar tournament. By winning it, he was allowed to get a title match against any champion he chose. While the match between Myles and Cole was great, the bigger part is what happens afterwards.  

As Myles was sitting by one of the NXT trucks, Cathy Kelly went up to get his reaction to his lose. However, Keith Lee would end up coming on to the screen and consoling him. He said that there will be more opportunities and he will be ready. The way that Keith Lee was talking and his body language that the seeds of a heel turn were being planted. Whenever the time comes that Jordan Myles get a title shot, I am sensing that Keith Lee will be playing a role in it. I wouldn’t be shocked if he were to “help” Myles, to just turn on him. 

If we were to get a Jordan Myles/ Keith Lee feud, the storyline that they could use is a rather simple one. You can have Keith Lee say something to the extent of how he has been in NXT longer than Myles and hasn’t gotten the chances that Myles was given. While I may be critical of the WWE, they do the friends turned into enemy storyline perfectly. We can look at past one like Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn, Tomasso Ciampa/Johnny Gargano, and Triple H/Shawn Michaels are just that come to mind.
