The 37-year-old star debuted to thunderous cheers on the most recent AEW Dynamite episode. Lee's AEW debut has caught the attention of everyone in the wrestling business.

"You could tell he was feeling himself just a little bit. His time off was probably a lot of nights at the gym getting ready for this debut. It was actually quite exceptional as far as [his] conditioning coming back this long off a layoff – especially with the big moves over the top. Keith Lee could be that player and immediately he goes to the top of the food chain. Put him right in the mix with anybody and I think you got something there. Definitely, he’s a big catch," Booker T said.
Fans are much happier with how he's been portrayed in AEW even after just one match compared to his WWE main roster run. The star will likely give a statement next week, one that fans will not want to miss out on.
Keith Lee recently reached out to a fan after she welcomed him back amidst personal tragedy
Lee has always been a fan favorite, and his most recent Twitter exchange takes that to another level. After his debut, a fan took to Twitter to thank him for his match and noted how it helped her amidst the loss of her father. Lee responded to the fan, empathizing with her and humbly accepting her praise.
Such small gestures of respect for fans mean that Booker T's analysis of Keith Lee is quite accurate. The wrestler could quickly become a hero amongst the AEW roster.
