Big news, folks! Keith Lee, the Limitless One himself, was reportedly backstage at AEW Dynamite last week, sparking speculation that his return to the ring might be imminent.
According to PWInsider, Lee was seen at the show after being off the road for months due to an undisclosed injury that pulled him from AEW Worlds End 2023 at the last minute. The exact nature of his injury remains a mystery, but his presence backstage could mean he’s getting closer to a comeback… or he just wanted to grab some catering and hang with the boys.

What’s Next for Keith Lee?
👀 Return to AEW TV?
