Sometimes it takes time to build trust in a new boss.
Keith Lee debuted in AEW earlier this year and has been on a roll ever since. While he isn’t challenging for titles, he has been on TV consistently since his signing and is currently working a program with Team Taz members Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs.
Speaking on the MackMania podcast, Lee explained how his relationship with Tony Khan has developed:
“I would say first and foremost, I think I feel for the most part very welcome.”
“I think that’s in part due to the people that I’m familiar with there, or have a history with, or may have seen or worked with on the independents,”
“I had a couple of meetings with Tony. They were just like, friendly, ‘get to know each other meetings’, which helped a lot, because with what I’ve gone through, I definitely had a few trust issues in terms of like, you know, if you’re a billionaire, I don’t know if I can trust you anymore. But we had a lot of talks that helped me dispel a lot of that.”
