He Would Know: AEW's Keith Lee Offers Encouraging Update On His Future

He’s still there. There are all kinds of reasons for wrestlers to miss time from the ring and unfortunately some of them can be rather serious. Occasionally this can results in wrestlers sitting on the sidelines for a long time and all fans can do is wonder when they will be back. Unfortunately that is the case again with a popular star, but now he is giving us something of a hint.

Keith Lee has not wrestled since December 2023 when he was pulled from a scheduled match with Swerve Strickland due to an unspecified medical issue. There is no word on when he will be medically cleared to return to the ring or if he will be. Lee posted to Twitter, thanking the fans for their messages of support. He went on to say that “we are not done” and said that “the time will come. Let’s move forward.” While not confirmed, this would suggest that he could Lee could be planning a return to the ring at some point in the future.

Lee is good while he’s around. Check out what he can do when he is around:

Opinion: In theory this is good news, and it’s nice to at least hear from Lee. He’s almost been gone for a year now and it is terrible to see him missing this much time from his in-ring career. It would be great to have him back in the ring at some point in the future, but it doesn’t seem like it is going to be happening anytime soon. Lee is not someone you see come along very often and hopefully we get to see him again later.
