AEW President Tony Khan was quick to issue a clarification

While viewers were expectedly concerned following Keith Lee's tweet, AEW President Tony Khan has now clarified the former's status.

Speaking on the latest episode of the podcast, Busted Open Radio, Khan noted that The Limitless One would indeed be wrestling at this week's Fyter Fest special. Furthermore, Tony Khan added Lee had a "family situation" and that though he couldn't talk about it, he and All Elite Wrestling would continue to have his back.

“I don’t want to get into Keith’s personal business. Keith is here, he is wrestling tonight. He had a family situation. It’s not my place to talk about it. Keith is here and here to wrestle, as I understand it. I can’t really comment on what is happening, but we’re going to support him through what is happening,” said Tony Khan. (H/T - Fightful)
