10 Wrestlers Who NEED To Get Out Of AEW
10. Keith Lee
This is an interesting one to start with.
Keith Lee was roundly considered a real get when AEW gobbled him up in early-2022. At the time, you couldn't move for brags like, "Aw, AEW will use him properly" and the like. Well, they bloody well haven't! Lee's All Elite run to date has been tag-team heavy, and he feels like less of a star than he did on WWE's NXT brand.
For reference, that's the E's developmental wing. Yeah. Tony Khan apologists can giggle all they like at Vinnie Mac's wonky "Bearcat" gimmick, but at least it attempted to flesh Keith out and give him some character. What is he on Dynamite/Rampage/Collision? Just another ex-indy standout people should care about for...reasons?
Ironically, Lee heading back to WWE would be best for him right now. Triple H is calling most of the creative shots there, and he'd probably be excited about the thought of getting Keith Lee right the second time around.
