AEW Star Believes He Can Be The First Black AEW World Champion

AEW

Keith Lee made his AEW debut on February 9, 2022, where he defeated Isiah Kassidy to qualify for the Face of the Revolution Ladder match.

Lee went on to become AEW Tag Team Champions alongside Swerve Strickland later in the year, with the duo breaking up at the end of 2022.

Keith recently spoke to the Masked Man podcast, where he outlined his goals in AEW, and how he hopes to be the first black AEW World Champion.

He said:

“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.”

While not yet officially announced, many believe the grudge match between Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland will take place at AEW Revolution this weekend.
