Bully Ray believes something needs to be done to revitalize the career of Keith Lee in AEW, after a “substantial” drop for the Limitless One.
Lee joined AEW in February 2022 after being released from WWE the prior November and is a former AEW World Tag Team Champion.
On a recent edition of “Busted Open Radio,” Bully Ray compared Lee’s work in AEW to holding his own against Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, and others in WWE. He said,
“The dropoff, in my opinion, with Keith Lee has been substantial. Keith Lee now needs an Apollo Creed … I believe that the right guy to get in Keith Lee’s face and start reminding him about who he was for a brief period of time and what his potential really is, is Mark Henry.”
“They are not playing to Keith Lee’s wheelhouse. They are not playing to his strengths. The most memorable match I’ve seen Keith Lee in, in my opinion, is his one against Dijakovic in NXT … There is nothing going on in AEW right now where I think Tony, creative, or anybody involved there truly understands Keith Lee, and how to write and/or book for him.”
Lee has competed in one singles match for AEW in 2023, which saw him lose to Chris Jericho during the April 12, 2023, episode of Dynamite.
