Bryan Keith has been active on the independent circuit after signing with AEW. His last match was on the May 22nd episode of AEW Dynamite, and he has continued to feature on AEW programming in recent weeks, notably aligning himself with Chris Jericho and Big Bill.

Bryan Keith also made an appearance at Forbidden Door while trying to distract HOOK during Chris Jericho’s match at the event. Regardless, we will have to wait and see when Keith will be able to make his return to in-ring action, as it might be a while.
