Per Tony Khan, Keith Lee is not medically cleared for tonight's match against Swerve. Instead, Dustin Rhodes will take his place and face Swerve. Keith Lee did confirm that he's been battling an injury since last year.

Between that and Kenny, they should really get doctors to step in.

Obviously wrestlers always want to keep going, but you can't continually have wrestler after wrestler fighting through or hiding injuries.

I remember when everyone said Miro and Andrade were going to be so much better leaving WWE. Now it seems that bkth just ended up in the same place they were in at WWE. Miro started off so well with that TNT Championship reign but fell flat afterwards.

Wrestling really isn't much different from sports.

That 20HR 100RBI 2015 season eventually declined to a 5HR 30RBI season by 2019.

On a new team the guy might briefly have a stretch of 5HR and 20RBI in a single month and finish the year with 15HR and 60RBI, but the next year he's back to his 5HR 20RBI numbers.

Change of scenery can help, whether it be temporary or permanent.

Mox for instance, it's hard to top the Shield popularity, but he's definitely doing better as a singles competitor in AEW vs in WWE. Christians entire career is probably one of the most unique ever since his peak popularity was the tag team, but his best work was probably in TNA, but then AEW has now added a new layer to him.

Now there's CM Punk chants in a trolling way in AEW shows because Punks in WWE?

How the tables have turned.

Abadon would have been so perfect in WWE alongside Bray Wyatt. That would have been an interesting pairing.

Knowing WWE, they'd just make her Evil Doink 2.0

Funny enough, I felt Julia Hart would've been the better pairing for Wyatt instead of what we saw with Bliss (at least the 2021 version of her)
