They also tagged former NXT champ Keith Lee in hopes that he makes a surprise return at the event. The message actually received a response from the sidelined star. But it wasn’t good news.
“Please tell the youngling that I must request his forgiveness as I will be absent,” Lee wrote. “However, I am hopeful you guys have an absolute blast. Enjoy yourselves! All my love and gratitude.”
Keith Lee has been sidelined for a year and a half for mysterious reasons. While he has not gone public with his issues, the assumption is that it is health-related. He reportedly was backstage at an AEW event earlier this year. The hope was that it might be a sign he could be returning soon. However, that still doesn’t seem to be the plan. He signed with the company in February 2022.
AEW: All In Texas takes place at Globe Life Field and will air at 3 PM ET and can be purchased on Amazon Prime Video.
