Keith Lee finally made his much-awaited debut in All Elite Wrestling. He is a once in a generation wrestler who can do heavyweight moves and cruiserweight moves elegantly. Lee was the surprise debut of Tony Khan in the TNT Championship qualifying match against Isiah Kassidy.

Despite his obvious talents, he didn’t get to showcase his NXT prime level on the WWE main roster. However, the fans were behind him all the time and showing him support through whichever means possible.

Recently, a fan, Tara Baird, tweeted thanking Keith Lee on Twitter. They showed gratitude towards Lee after his AEW debut. The tweet said, 

“@RealKeithLee I know that this is going to sound ridiculously stupid. But I lost my father a little over a week ago and seeing on my tv last night was the happiest & most exciting I’ve been since he passed away. So, for that I just wanted to say thank you & WELCOME BACK!”

Lee was obviously touched and replied, “I relate in a multitude of similar scenarios. If it has eaten you up like the past 2 years have done to me…. then I am more than honored to have offered some sort of reprieve.”

“I hope that over time, I can help you in your healing process. Keep your head up. I believe in you.”

It honored Lee to help this fan and give them a moment of relief from their sadness. He compared how he felt somewhat similar to how the fan was feeling. Lee offered his best wishes to the fan and gave them some words of encouragement.

In Lee’s life, an unfortunate occurrence was immediately followed by a very positive one. WWE released him and his fiance Mia Yim from their WWE contract last year as part of budget cuts.

Both were under WWE’s 90 days no-compete clause, which ended and Keith Lee debuted in AEW. But that’s not the only good thing that happened to him. He got married to his girlfriend, Mia Yim, four days before his AEW debut.
