Please note that this may be a spoiler for tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
Fightful has confirmed that Keith Lee has signed with AEW and his debut is imminent. It has NOT been confirmed that he is the mystery opponent tonight for Isiah Kassidy but he seems to be one of the likely candidates. Dave Meltzer first reported last week that Lee was either close to signing or he has already signed a deal with AEW.
If Lee debuts tonight, he may not be the only surprise on the show because Tony Khan has hinted that there are other “fun things” planned for tonight’s show.
Lee was released in November by WWE and his non-compete recently expired. He got married over the weekend to Mia Yim. There’s no word on Yim’s future but one has to assume that AEW would have expressed strong interest in her as well because she would be a welcome addition to the women’s division.
Here is everything announced for tonight’s show:
“The Professor” Serena Deeb’s 5-minute rookie challenge
TBS Championship Open Challenge
Jade Cargill vs. A.Q.A.
AEW World Championship – Texas Deathmatch
Hangman Adam Page vs. Lance Archer
Face of the Revolution qualifying match
Isiah Kassidy vs. ???
Tony Khan has a huge announcement
Inner Circle Team Meeting
We will hear from MJF
