No Concrete Creative Plans For Keith Lee

Lee has made a couple of backstage visits to AEW tapings in his home state of Texas earlier this year, but he has not been a regular presence at the shows. Lee’s last match took place at the Holiday Bash 2023 special, where he defeated Brian Cage.

He was originally scheduled to face his former tag team partner, Swerve Strickland, in a singles match at the Worlds End pay-per-view that year, but he was pulled from the match due to his health issues.
