As expected, Keith Lee was indeed AEW President Tony Khan's big surprise during last night's episode of AEW Dynamite. Fans in the building went nuts, and the former NXT Champion was immediately greeted by familiar "Bask in his Glory" chants. Lee looked a little bigger than the last time we saw him, but ditched his WWE ring gear and put on a powerful performance.
Making short work of Isiah Kassidy in his "Face of the Revolution" qualifying match, Lee was booked as a monster and picked up a mostly easy 1-2-3 win with the Ground Zero.
After the match, Private Party looked to take Lee down, but he decimated both, and stood tall.
Lee is a huge signing for AEW, and it's already clear the company has big plans for the former WWE Superstar. Elsewhere on the show, "Switchblade" Jay White confirmed months of speculation when he showed up during a backstage segment alongside Adam Cole and The Young Bucks to take out Roppongi Vice members Trent Baretta and Rocky Romero.
