AEW President Tony Khan recently discussed a major release from WWE who ended up signing for All Elite Wrestling.
Speaking to Rasslin’ with Brandon F. Walker, Khan discussed how Keith Lee was released from the company and how baffled he was when it happened.
“Also, speaking of established stars coming in, Swerve Strickland and right before that Keith Lee. I can’t believe these guys got fired by any wrestling company in the world” Khan began.
“I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking if you run a wrestling company and you don’t have a spot for Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee” the AEW President added.
Tony Khan on Keith Lee
“I get that there are only so many positions in a company but I think any company that has those guys and, you know, it wasn’t like they’re unreasonable guys. They’re great! I love both guys. They’ve been a huge part of what we’re doing here now, too” Khan concluded.
It is baffling that WWE couldn’t make Keith Lee work on the main roster. Hopefully, he is able to get to a main event level on the All Elite Wrestling roster.
