37-year-old star willing to join AEW for a "money match" against Keith Lee
A major star is open to joining AEW for a match against Keith Lee. The wrestler in question recently left WWE.
Dijak and Keith Lee were known for their fierce competition in WWE. During their days together in the Stamford-based promotion, both massive athletes put on some incredible matches that seemed to leave the fans in awe each time. This also showed the chemistry the two stars shared in the ring. However, after Lee left the promotion and joined AEW, any hopes for another match between both men seemed futile. But now with Dijak also out of the global juggernaut, it looks like both athletes could lock horns again.
During a recent interview with the Wrestling with Things podcast, Dijak spoke about wrestlers he would be interested in getting in the ring with. He explicitly mentioned that he wasn't interested in wrestling people that phone it in. He also believes that he and Lee in the ring again could be a big "money match."
"The only people I'm disinterested in working with are the people who are phoning it in right because I've had plenty of those matches before. [...] I think the money match is obviously myself and Keith Lee, we have a very storied history, I think the fans are going to clamor for that. I think that's the kind of match that you can build an entire pay-per-view around if you really want to," he said. [H/T Wrestling Inc.]
