The New Flavor defeated Ricochet in a singles match at Revolution on March 9 to become the number one contender for the AEW World Championship. Strickland and Moxley have been feuding since then. At Dynasty, Keith Lee could show up after 470 days and cost The One True King his title in a shocking twist.

Jon Moxley won the AEW World Championship at WrestleDream 2024. Since then, he has successfully defended his gold against many top stars, and a big reason for that is the Death Riders. The group often helps Moxley to gain an advantage over his opponents during title matches.

The Realest could devise a strategy to deal with the Death Riders at Dynasty. He could use his former tag team partner, Keith Lee, as his secret weapon to stop Moxley's teammates from interfering in the bout.

The six-foot-two-inch star and Strickland captured the AEW World Tag Team Championship once. The duo had a good reign before they parted ways. Lee is currently absent from AEW TV. His last appearance came on the December 23, 2023, edition of Collision, where he defeated Brian Cage in a singles match.

Many expect Lee to rekindle his feud with Strickland upon his comeback. However, the former NXT Champion can shockingly combine forces with The Realest amid the latter's rivalry with the Death Riders. As of now, this is mere speculation.
