4 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Rampage (April 28)

2. Naturally Pointless

Keith Lee

Sorry, but taking Keith Lee from one thrown-together tag with Swerve Strickland and almost immediately tossing him into another with Dustin Rhodes is sh*t planning. Like The Acclaimed, big Keith is finding out firsthand that All Elite bosses struggle to manage a roster this loaded.

His AEW run, a few matches aside, has been terrible.

Running over enhancement workers doesn't cut it anymore, and so this tag squash alongside Dustin was another waste of airtime on Rampage. TK might not want to admit this either, but the bloom's off the rose for that feud with Strickland too. It's old hat, so any "blow off" will play before an apathetic crowd.

Things don't look positive for Lee at all. Sure, he's still getting those singalong chants from fans, but that's because people believe in the dude. How long can they be expected to keep the faith when he's booked so poorly though?!
