Keith Lee arriving in AEW was the definition of a ‘feel good moment’ in professional wrestling. After a frustrating run on the WWE main roster killed a lot of his hype, Keith Lee was able to show that he’s got a lot in the tank. Now, he plans on following that up with many more great moments – as he reminds everyone just who Keith Lee is.
Keith Lee Reflects On His AEW Debut
While appearing on Busted Open radio – Keith Lee would have a chance to reflect on his debut. He of course won his clash with Isiah Kassidy and set up his path to the AEW Revolution. Lee had the following to say about his debut.
“That first debut was something that was almost overwhelming because there was a certain amount of freedom that came with it, and also a reality that, regardless of things going on, I’m truly back and available to do what I enjoy. The reality is, we can say I’m now a professional wrestler, but the reality is, I’ve always been a professional wrestler.
I was never some chosen guy…I’ve always earned my way in any organisation I’ve ever been a part of. That’s probably the most exciting prospect for me, earning my way to an AEW World Championship.”
Knowing That He Needs To Rebuild His Brand As A Professional Wrestler
Also during this interview, Lee would speak on how he was excited that fans just recognized him. Busted Open host and fellow AEW talent Mark Henry was excited to get Lee in front of a Texas crowd. In Texas, Lee hopes to make up for the fact that his last time in town just saw him get beat by Bobby Lashley in 6 minutes. Lee had the following to say.
“My last foray and the return to Dallas was such a weird experience for me, and not because of the fans, the fans are always fantastic. As a matter of fact, when I debuted for AEW, I had forgotten what it was like to hear them when they recognized it was me. Those are the moments I look forward to, the excitement of the people and what they bring.
Being in your home state is something very special. I’m looking forward to all those returns, the new battles, the opportunities and earning my way through things and rebuilding a brand…I don’t feel like it’s broken or busted…I feel like it was somewhat marred and putting that stamp down of dark, bold ink of ‘this is who Keith Lee is.”
