>Keith Lee was reportedly backstage at a recent Dynamite taping in Texas, but those expecting to see his return to AEW mainstay shows Dynamite and Collision may be in for a shock.
>Sources close to the situation report that Lee was invited back to AEW in October 2024 to discuss creative, reportedly reigniting a feud with former AEW World Heavyweight Champion Swerve Strickland, but Lee reportedly cancelled the meeting the day before citing "a health issue" that prevented him travelling. This is in spite of Lee himself letting AEW officials know in September 2024 that he was "good to go".
>"The compromise was to visit the show in Texas, which wouldn't require him to fly", a source tells us, "[Keith Lee] turned up with an attitude and immediately turned down plans, before asking unceremoniously if he could have his release".
>The report goes on to state that Lee has been "difficult" to deal with for his entire run, citing a 2023 match with Chris Jericho.
>"The Chris Jericho match was something that was heavily negotiated. [Keith] didn't want to go long but also didn't want a clean finish, he was really difficult for most of 2023. I was surprised he wasn't frozen out completely like some of the other guys. I think Tony [Khan] has developed a mentality where he doesn't want to engage at all with some of these wrestlers, but also wants to honor contract terms".
>Keith Lee has been absent since before World's End in 2023, where he reported on his X account that he was injured and unable to work a scheduled match with Swerve Strickland. His sometimes tag partner Dustin Rhodes stepped in in what was described as "more or less the exact same match planned for Lee"
