In February 2021, Lee was pulled out from WWE programming after he contracted COVID-19 and was sidelined for five months. This situation was followed by complications surrounding his heart. The Limitless One eventually recovered and joined All Elite Wrestling in February 2022.
While appearing on AEW Unrestricted, Strickland detailed Lee’s ascension in wrestling and his battle with COVID-19.
The former WWE star initially doubted The Limitless One’s recovery process:
Lee signed with AEW on February 9 after getting released by WWE in November 2021. Since then, he has captured the AEW World Tag Team Championship alongside Strickland during Fyter Fest Week 1 in July.
Former WWE star Swerve Strickland is proud of his AEW World Tag Team Championship victory with Keith Lee
During the same conversation, Swerve Strickland expressed his delight upon winning tag team gold in AEW alongside Keith Lee. He also credited Lee’s courage and resurgence from health concerns.
Last night on Rampage, Andrade El Idolo dared the Private Party (Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen) to challenge Swerve in Our Glory for the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Later, the champions responded by saying their potential challengers wouldn’t stand a chance against them.
It will be interesting to see if a tag team title match between the two squads will occur somewhere down the road.
