Keith Lee is one of a handful of names that were once working for WWE, got released, and is technically now a free agent. Social media was buzzing on Tuesday as names like Lee, Karrion Kross, Ember Moon and Nia Jax are now all free to sign elsewhere. Many are wondering if any of these names will show up just in time to join AEW and be on Dynamite Wednesday night.

Perhaps the biggest name on that list is Lee's. It was said he had "limitless" potential but WWE chose to let him go after some illness issues kept him off the roster for some time, a reimaging of his character didn't exactly work and the company underwent a number of budget cuts, which Lee and girlfriend Mia Yim were both a part of. Fans were shocked to learn of Lee's release, especially considering there was so much talk about how big a star Lee could become. It makes sense that fans would be excited about the idea of Lee getting a shot in AEW.

Lee posted a message on social media Tuesday, likely hinting about his excitement over being free and clear to wrestle with another company. He wrote, "Through Victory... My Chains are Broken. Time.... has freed me. And now... the Force shall guide me."

Is There Room in AEW For Lee?

One thing going against Lee joining AEW is just how big the roster is getting. Some would argue there might not be room for him considering the sheer number of names they continue to bring in, and with every person that joins, there is less and less television time available for the stars they already have. Would AEW be criticized for bringing him in, only to have him flounder like some of their other big guys are?

Considering fans are still calling for Jeff Hardy, Johnny Gargano, Samoa Joe and others to join too, where do they find room for everyone?
