Keith Lee Promises “We Are Not Done” Amid Latest AEW Hiatus
Keith Lee joined AEW in 2022 to much fanfare, but his tenure with the promotion has seen a series of unfortunate breaks due to health issues. In 2024, Keith Lee has yet to compete for AEW, Ring of Honor, or any other promotion, but the Limitless One is far from finished in the squared circle.
On X, Lee shared a statement of gratitude toward fans, saying he hasn’t seen all of the positive messages aimed in his direction but has seen many. Lee added that “we are not done” and encouraged his fans to “hang in there just like I am.” The former AEW World Tag Team Champion promised that “the time will come” before ending with a reminder to vote in next month’s U.S. election.
Lee didn’t share the reason for his absence from the ring in his statement. Earlier this month, Fightful Select reported that he had yet to be cleared after experiencing an undisclosed medical issue. Lee’s most recent match took place on the December 28, 2023, Collision and saw him defeat Brian Cage. He had been set to face Swerve Strickland at Worlds End two days later but their long-awaited blow-off match following their tag team split had to be nixed.
Whatever the future holds for Keith Lee, the former NXT Champion is confident that his return to the ring will come.
