Basking in Keith Lee’s glory is a pastime AEW fans have been enjoying since his debut for the company on the 9 February 2022 edition of AEW Dynamite.

Astounding both in the ring and on the mic, a competitor of Keith Lee’s ilk would have little trouble elevating any title around his waist.

Anyone silly enough to object to this sentiment need only look back on his time as NXT Champion and NXT North American Champion as evidence.

Yes, Lee absolutely deserves to be in the AEW World Title picture, without a doubt, but becoming TNT Champion is an excellent steppingstone along the way as Hangman Page’s run concludes.

Lee capturing the TNT Championship would further cement that he is a valued commodity by those behind the scenes and send a clear message to any of his former colleagues contemplating jumping ship to AEW (once the turbulent waters of the Discovery-Warner merger finally begin settling, of course).
