Former AEW World Tag Team Champion Keith Lee has provided a rare and reflective update on his wrestling status, confirming that while he’s feeling well, his in-ring return is not currently within his control.
Lee, who has been out of action since being pulled from AEW’s Worlds End pay-per-view in late 2023, initially revealed he had been battling an injury dating back to 2022. Since then, the fan-favorite powerhouse has remained largely silent regarding his condition—until now.
Responding to a fan on Twitter/X who sent him well wishes, Lee replied:
“I am quite fine. It is not up to me when it comes to a return. But blessings to you as well.”
In a follow-up exchange, another fan expressed interest in launching a campaign to bring him back to TV. Lee respectfully declined the idea while showing appreciation for the support.
“I’ve been good for quite some time, though I do appreciate the concern. But no campaign required. Things happen the way they are supposed to, and eventually, the purpose will show itself.”

Lee’s comments suggest that his absence is due to circumstances beyond just physical recovery—possibly tied to AEW’s creative or medical clearance process. The former NXT Champion’s philosophical tone echoes past sentiments he’s shared about patience, purpose, and resilience.
As of now, there is no official timeline for Keith Lee’s return to AEW television. Fans continue to hope for the return of “Limitless” Lee, whose presence remains deeply missed in the promotion’s heavyweight division.
