A former WWE champion has been out of action for a long time. Fans want him to join The Hurt Syndicate in AEW.

Keith Lee’s run in AEW has been a bit disappointing, especially to fans who have been fans of his work in NXT. He went from holding the NXT Championship and the North American Title to having a disappointing run on the main roster. After he left the sports entertainment juggernaut, he joined AEW. Initially, he found a bit of success along with Swerve Strickland. Together, they won the World Tag Team Titles. However, after their tag team ended, Swerve went on a successful singles run and even won the World Title. However, the same couldn’t be said about Keith Lee. He was kept off TV for several months due to an undisclosed health issue. However, several months ago, Lee confirmed that he was fine. Despite this, Tony Khan has not used the Limitless One on TV. His last wrestling match took place in December 2023 against Brian Cage.

However, Keith Lee should make his return to AEW TV and align himself with the Hurt Syndicate. Lee would be a perfect addition to the group. He could act as the stable’s muscle, who just destroys anyone who tries to get to them. The former WWE champion possesses the skills needed to be a heel, and he would make for a terrific bad guy. The Hurt Syndicate were always missing the one person that could make this group complete, and the former WWE star might just be the person.

Former WWE star Keith Lee promised fans he would return to the ring

Keith Lee is one of the most beloved stars in professional wrestling. Therefore, fans have been concerned about him due to his extended absence from AEW. Many fans want to see him back in the ring.

A fan recently posted on social media that he would like to see the former WWE star back in the ring. Keith Lee responded to the fan and promised that he would make his return to the ring. However, he didn’t provide a specific timeline for his return.

“You honor me. I appreciate you for that. All my gratitude. I’d like to take this moment to remind you, that you also, are boundless. Additionally, I’ll take a moment to reassure you that a return to the ring will certainly happen. Though I won’t posit how or when. Much love,” wrote Keith.

It remains to be seen when Keith Lee will make his in-ring return.
