WWE was once the home of Keith Lee, who had great success during his NXT run. During a recent interview, a star, who was signed to the promotion alongside him, detailed their long wrestling history. Unfortunately, after his main roster call-up, Keith Lee didn't experience the same success in WWE. His shocking release in November 2021 was further questioned by fans, who still clamored to see the star. Luckily for AEW fans, he'd made his debut in February 2022 and has since seemed far more content. During his recent appearance on AEW Unrestricted, Swerve Strickland detailed his history with Keith Lee before the two even signed to WWE. "I believe there was an injury that happened, Keith was supposed to side with somebody else I can’t remember the name," Strickland said. "There was a familiarity between me and Keith, back before Keith signed and left the indie. Me and him used to tag overseas, and we had some fun matches in AAW in Chicago, we competed against Zack Sabre Jr. and Pentagon."

"My goal is to make Keith laugh in some sense, every week on TV. Before we go through the curtain before we get the camera rolling, I’m like: ‘I gotta make this guy laugh!’ And you see that energy continue into what we do on camera." [08:54 onward]. While the two never teamed up in WWE, their quick rise to the top of the tag team division proved their versatility in the ring. So far, the duo has yet to defend their titles, but with AEW's tag division, they won't be spoilt for choice. Missed the latest AEW Dynamite? Catch up on the show results via this link.

According to a report from Fightful Select, Swerve Strickland, Keith Lee, and Athena are unlikely to appear in the video game, due to signing with AEW late into the game's production.
