Time for Budge to reunite with the Bearcat! The BTE skits will make the money worth it alone. I thought you were cutting your hair? |

Huge waste if he doesn't debut by just pouncing Cole out of nowhere.

If they could debut him with the spot where he just appears behind an opponent on the corner of the ring, that would be amazing.
Also, if they don't have Adam Cole somehow "managing" him, then they are missing a great chance for entertainment.

This is a big show they're doing next week. |

Other than maybe Toni Storm he's THE most no-brainer free agent signing you can bring in. Swerve Scott as well. |

Step 1: defeat NXT
Step 2: sign it's stars
But seriously, Lee is a no-brainer if they can come to terms. Has main roster recognition but was both wasted and not there too long. Plus, AEW desperately needs more Black wrestlers at the top of the card.
I just hope Lee has been able to get over his lingering Covid issues. That really seemed to hamper him when he returned to the ring.

Great addition to the future main event scene.
Count me as another who wants Lee to debut by YEETING Adam Cole again.

Keith Lee is my favorite wrestler currently not in AEW, so I would love this. The three wrestlers I wanted in AEW day 1 that were in WWE were Adam Cole, Tommy End and Keith Lee.
Also, judging any wrestler on their main roster run after a run in NXT is a huge mistake.

judging any wrestler on their main roster run after a run in NXT is a huge mistake. Big facts. See; Black, Malakai I remember being so excited about FTR possibly coming in, I absolutely loved them in NXT and knew their main roster run with the gay panic angle was to embarrass them. But people on social media really bought into the whole thing, even being angry at their new names, and thinking they really weren't good workers. I was shocked, I had never seen a bad FTR match, and still havent, but I ignored how they were booked. Keith Lee did have his health issues, but many people have. He was booked to not get over. That match versus Kross haunts me, how bad it was. It goes beyond physical health, the mental health of people going from NXT to the main roster, seeing how everyone before them was buried, had to really affect them. I even think back to the Ascension and their first promo on the main roster. Just buried, day one. NXT was magical, and I choose to remember the Keith Lee I saw in PWG and NXT, and not the guy who got a new song, new gear, new nickname (that he did not pick) when it comes to what he might do. He was fighting health issues, but also the WWE trademark process, creative about his character, and everything. To me, he could be TNT champion day one. |

Lee seems tailored made to be a great TNT champion.

As expected so I'm not surprised. I just hope he's used greatly. As stated, they need more black main eventers. I said in that first thread that it'll take an additional 2-3 years before they do something because AEW just been slow with pushing this so given Keith Lee might join, he'll probably be in the midcard and then be in the main event sometime in 2023 like I initially predicted. They're just slow with this thing and they've just got a bad pattern of not really putting the time and work in changing the perception of it.
Lee will be him and that's great especially with all of his ideas he's got. Sign Mia, Athena and you've got 3 great additions.

As his career seems destined to be intertwined with Adam Coles they may wait until Hangman/Archer is done and add him as a potential foe/ally for Cole as he begins his title challenge program with Page.

If he can go again, great, more power to him.
Let's see if AEW can make him something more than just another guy. I dont feel like they managed it with Miro, but Keith Lee is a different beast
