Tony Khan promised a big free agent signing and reveal on tonight’s AEW Dynamite, and as those who tuned in learned, he more than delivered, revealing that Keith Lee is now All Elite. Lee had an impressive debut match against Kassidy of Private Party, but he wasn’t the only surprise, as New Japan’s Jay White also showed up during the show, helping out Adam Cole a bit before walking away. Khan took to Twitter after the episode to talk a bit about his original Forbidden Door tease and when they knew White would be involved, as well as how hearing fan feedback affected their plans.
I didn’t secure @JayWhiteNZ until Sunday. I realized after the fact that Friday night I butchered my own definition of Forbidden Door in hyping tonight. I heard the fans’ feedback, & wanted to ensure that tonight was a special #AEWDynamite for all. Thank you everyone who watched!
