Welcome to the team. WWE has released well over one hundred wrestlers during the last year and a half. It is not clear if the string of releases has ended, but they have flooded the free agent market with some very talented wrestlers. That makes for some very interesting moments as wrestlers are able to appear all over the wrestling world. The same thing took place this week as another major name made his debut elsewhere.
This week’s AEW Dynamite featured the debut of Keith Lee, who appeared as a mystery opponent for Isiah Kassidy in a qualifying match for the Face of the Revolution ladder match. Lee won the match and will participate in the ladder match at Revolution on March 6. This is Lee’s first match since being released from WWE in November and AEW President Tony Khan has announced that he has signed a contract with the company.

He might be limitless. Check out what Lee did in his AEW debut:
Opinion: This is great to see as Lee was never given a serious chance on the main WWE roster. He got a few wins here and there and then got let go as WWE couldn’t come up with anything for him? I have no idea how they didn’t see anything in him but now he is in AEW, where he could be quite the star. I’m happy to see what Lee gets to do, but more excited that he is getting the chance.
What do you think of Lee? How far can he go in AEW? Let us know in the comments below.
