A top independent star appeared ringside during NXT Takeover Chicago tonight, making it clear they officially signed for WWE.

It had been rumored for some time that Keith Lee was signing for the company, but now its official and you can bask in his glory as the top independent star appeared during the latest Takeover event tonight.

WWE often debuts new signings at Takeover shows, with the likes of Drew McIntyre, EC3, and Ricochet all being shown for the first time at ringside during Takeover shows, with Keith Lee being the latest name to do that.

Lee was shown prior to the NXT Championship match between Aleister Black and Lars Sullivan and received a huge pop from the live Chicago crowd. You can expect to see him appear on NXT Television soon, with NXT taping new TV episodes in the coming weeks.

Well this is simply fantastic! Keith Lee!! #NXTTakeOver pic.twitter.com/Sq7pa92GMO
