All Elite Wrestling delivered two noteworthy surprises Wednesday on Dynamite. New Japan Pro-Wrestling star Jay White appeared in a backstage segment, and then former NXT champion Keith Lee made his arrival in AEW, delivering a statement in his debut victory against Isiah Kassidy.
Speaking with Sports Illustrated, AEW CEO Tony Khan expressed his excitement about signing Lee as a full-time member of the AEW roster.
“Keith’s debut was incredible,” Khan says. “Much to my amazement, Keith got released. As soon as I saw that he was released, this was the moment I dreamed about.”
