After spending over a year with All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Keith Lee has enjoyed a successful start to his tenure. Fans are excited about his prospects as a former AEW World Tag Team Champion for 70 days and undefeated with a 7-0 singles record. Despite his accomplishments, Lee remains hungry for more, including winning the AEW World Championship.
Currently embroiled in a dispute with his former tag team partner Swerve Strickland, fans speculate that Lee and Strickland may square off at Sunday’s Revolution pay-per-view, though the event’s organizers have yet to confirm.
Undeterred by the ongoing conflict, Keith Lee recognizes his worth and is steadfast in pursuing championship gold. In a recent interview on The Masked Man Show, Lee revealed that his ultimate objective is to become AEW’s first black World Champion and cement his status as the top performer in the organization.
“Oh, I mean, let’s be honest here. Any place or any time that an individual goes to a company, it doesn’t have to be sports related or physical, When you go somewhere, most people [have goals or ambitions] of being that number one talent, that number one person, that number one mine, whatever it may be. The end goal is obviously to become AEW World Heavyweight Champion, and let’s be honest, I’m really good at making history. I would be [AEW’s first] black World Heavyweight Champion. I’m more than capable of doing that, I’m more than capable of carrying myself in a way that would be fitting and beneficial to a company.”
