Going through character changes in WWE and dealing with health issues, Lee was rebranded as “Bearcat.” Now in AEW, he thanked the fans for welcoming him back on social media.
“We got a lot of work to do still. But I more than appreciate the warm welcome back. The person with the sign that had the same silhouette that’s on the front of my hoodie…. thank you. Touched my soul. And with sad family times hopefully behind me….let’s grind. #ForwardMarch”

Before Lee debuted, fans were shocked to see the words “Switchblade” appear on the screen. The Young Bucks and Adam Cole attacked Trent Beretta and Rocky backstage. In the middle of the attack, Cole welcomed Jay White to AEW. The Young Bucks were confused as to why White was there.
