La AEW a discuté avec Keith Lee

Dave Meltzer rapporte, dans The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, que des discussions entre Keith Lee et la AEW ont eu lieu récemment.

Lee est devenu officiellement agent libre, trois mois après avoir été libéré par la WWE.

Meltzer laisse même entendre que Lee pourrait déjà avoir conclu une entente avec la AEW.

Il rappelle qu’après une très belle carrière sur la scène indy, Lee a connu un grand succès à NXT. Ce fut toutefois plus difficile à RAW, avec notamment des problèmes de santé (dont la COVID-19).

Meltzer croit donc que Lee, âgé de 37 ans, suscite davantage de questionnements, à cause de sa santé, malgré son charisme et sa taille.

“A number of WWE talents who were fired in early November are now free to start working elsewhere. Keith Lee is on that list and we’re told that he’s been talked about for here [AEW], if not has already agreed to a deal here. Lee was one of the most impressive wrestlers on the independent scene doing a hard hitting and high flying style, neither of which is favored in WWE. He had trouble early on in NXT but eventually became one of its most popular wrestlers. He struggled with stop-and-start booking on the main roster until COVID, and heart issues stemming from COVID, put him on the shelf most of last year. He was 33 when he signed with WWE but is 37 now. For a guy of his size, speed, and injuries become more of a factor getting older. The Lee of 2018 I’d call a hire with great potential for AEW, because he’s got all the charisma and the size and athletic talent. In 2022, it’s possible he could still be a great hire but there are question marks.”
