5 ways AEW can book Keith Lee after Dynamite debut

#2. Keith Lee could rekindle his rivalry with Adam Cole in AEW

AEW could bring former rivals face-to-face with Keith Lee and Adam Cole. The two had a storied history in NXT. Lee defeated Cole at the 2020 Great American Bash to become the NXT and North American Champion on the former black and gold brand.

They could've been a pairing on the main roster if WWE Chairman Vince McMahon had his way. But as rivals, they delivered stellar matches that highlighted each wrestler's strengths.

Now that they're in the same company again, Tony Khan can easily revisit this box-office rivalry and present it as a marquee match at a future AEW show.

#1. Keith Lee could challenge for the AEW World Championship

On the same Dynamite that featured Keith Lee's debut, the main event was the Texas Death Match for the AEW World Championship between Hangman Page and Lance Archer. The brutal and bloody affair led to Page defeating his bigger opponent and vanquishing another challenger to the throne.

Judging from the reaction to Lee, fans still consider him a star attraction deserving the main event spotlight as he did in NXT. It won't be outside the realm of possibility that Khan immediately pushes Lee to the top to battle Page, even if it's a one-off match.

The Cowboy will always require top-line opponents to pad out his title run, and Lee could pose a legitimate threat to his reign. Fans already see Limitless One as a future world champion, and if he can string together a run of victories, that could come to fruition.
