Major showdown involving a former WWE Superstar is reportedly in the works
A recent report has shed light on the possiblity of a match that fans have long demanded, which involve two former WWE Superstars now in AEW.
The Jacksonville-based Promotion has often been criticized for the lack of storylines, as the brand prefers to emphasize the in-ring wrestling more. However, certain feuds have certainly stood out in the past few years, one of them being the rise and fall of Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee.
The duo started off hot and immediately got over with the fans, owing to their natural chemistry in the ring. Nicknamed 'Swerve in our Glory,' they went on to win the tag team titles soon afterwards. However, subsequent weeks saw Swerve turning heel, and later on turning against Lee.
While fans have long clamoured for a showdown between the two to settle the feud, the storyline had seemingly been abandoned. However, the two former WWE Superstars came in contact again due to the blind eliminator tag team tournament.
According to a recent report from Fightful Select, the highly anticipated showdown is already being planned. While the exact timeframe is still a mystery, this certainly provides hope for the two talented stars to meet in the ring again.

Former WWE Superstar Keith Lee has addressed the possibility of his match against Swerve Strickland before
Given the anticipation of the match right after Swerve Strickland's heel turn, fans had been quite pushy at the time. This had led to Keith Lee providing an update on the booking in a rather stern tone.
Taking to Twitter, the former WWE Superstar had stated:
"Your handle exposes your level of intelligence, so I shall help you out. That is not within my control. I do not book matches. Eventually... it will occur. The time frame, however, is not up to me. Have a lovely day."
