Keith Lee clarified his status for AEW All In: Texas.
Several top stars are lined up for AEW’s biggest pay-per-view of the year, All In: Texas at the Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Names like Jon Moxley, ‘Hangman’ Adam Page, Mercedes Mone, Toni Storm, Kazuchika Okada, Kenny Omega, and more are advertised for the event. Unfortunately, it looks like there is no space for Keith Lee.
Ahead of All In: Texas, a fan shared that his 6-year-old son was excited to watch the pay-per-view and wished some of the competitors good luck, including the fact that his child was hoping to see Keith Lee return. The AEW star then asked for forgiveness from the young fan, for he would be absent from the show, but wished the father and son a great time watching the PPV.
You can check out his response below:
Please tell the youngling that I must request his forgiveness as I will be absent. However, I am hopeful you guys have an absolute blast. Enjoy yourselves! All my love and gratitude.”

Keith Lee Previously Opened Up About His Wrestling Status Ahead of AEW All In: Texas
Keith Lee hasn’t been in action since December 2023 following an undisclosed injury and underwent double surgery the following year. After a fan recently inquired if he was still injured, the AEW star revealed the truth regarding his status.
On X/Twitter, a fan said that they missed the former WWE star on television, but understood that he might still be healing. However, Keith Lee responded and clarified that he had been healthy for a while, but it wasn’t up to him when he could return. When it was suggested that fans start a campaign to bring him back, the AEW star noted that that wasn’t necessary.
I’ve been good for quite some time, though I do appreciate the concern. But no campaign required. Things happen the way they are suppose to, and eventually, the purpose will show itself.”
It remains to be seen what the actual status of the former WWE Superstar is for AEW All In: Texas tonight.
