Below are some top AEW news stories of the day.

• During an interview on Chris Jericho’s Talk Is Jericho podcast, AEW wrestler Bryan Keith was asked if WWE ever showed interest in him. Here’s what Keith said:

“No, nothing. I’ve been at Booker T’s (Reality of Wrestling promotion) for a long time. I did extra work and things like that (in WWE), but nothing like, ‘Hey, come in and we’ll take a look at you and things like that.’

I watched WWE all the time as a kid. I’m a WWF kid, I never even watched WCW growing up. But I feel like whenever I got older, I gravitated towards the Japanese style of professional wrestling, so in my head, I literally wanted to go to Japan.

WWE or TNA and all these other places, it wasn’t the goal. I’d work for them. At the time, if they were giving it, I was gonna see what’s up. But in my head, I was like, ‘Japan, Japan, Japan.’

I remember my parents being like, ‘How? How the hell do you think you’re gonna get on the other side of the world and do that?’

Actually, at the beginning of this year, I went for the first time for two weeks. DDT brought me out, and I wrestled out there.”
