AEW will be without another star due to injury.
That star is Brian Keith, who has been aligned with Chris Jericho and Big Bill on AEW television since helping Jericho retain the FTW Championship over Katsuyori Shibata at the AEW Double Or Nothing pay-per-view event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, in May. Keith didn’t work the Forbidden Door event as Jeff Cobb teamed with the heels in a losing effort to Samoa Joe, Hook, and Katsuyori Shibata.
Today, DEADLOCK Pro Wrestling announced that Lee is injured and will vacate the DPW National Championship. It’s still unclear when he will be back or the state of his injury. He held the title for 323 days and defended it five times.
The announcement noted that further announcements about the title would be made soon. DPW’s next events are this weekend. You can see their statement here:
“[BREAKING] Bryan Keith has suffered an injury, and with no available timetable for his return, Keith will vacate the DPW National Championship. The Bounty Hunter held the belt for 323 days, including 5 defenses, a record-breaking number in both regards. DPW’s next events are on July 6 and July 7 in Raleigh, North Carolina. Adam Priest is the current top contender for the belt. Further announcements on the status of the DPW National Championship will be made soon. We wish Bryan Keith the best on his road to recovery and hope to see him back in a DPW ring soon.”
Keith last wrestled on the May 22 episode of AEW Dynamite.
