Massive update on Keith Lee amidst AEW absence - Reports

Keith Lee hasn't been seen on AEW TV in over a year. New details have come to light regarding his future.

Keith Lee arrived in AEW in dominant fashion. He formed a tag team with Swerve Strickland and they even captured the World Tag Team Championship. After they disbanded their team, Swerve's career took off and he became the World Champion. On the other hand, the same can't be said about Lee.

His career came to a screeching halt in 2023. He had severe health issues that forced him out of the ring for an extended period. During this time, he also had an undisclosed injury which required double surgery. He hadn't competed in the ring since December 2023 and there has been no mention of his return.

According to reports from PWInsider, The Limitless One was backstage at last week's episode of Dynamite. This is a bit surprising since he hasn't been at any events since he was out of action.
