Saturday’s Collision show in Edinburg, Texas featured the official announcement of “The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith being signed to an official contract to AEW.
Following Keith’s loss to Eddie Kingston in a Proving Ground match for the AEW Continetnal Crown, AEW commentator Tony Schiavone held an in-ring interview with Kingston for some words about his victory. After giving a quick shout out, Kingston told Schiavone to go interview Keith instead.
Schiavone then went to Keith and informed him that he is officially All Elite and directed everyone’s attention to the big screen, which showed an #AllElite signing graphic for Keith. This led to the crowd going wild over Keith’s signing to the company.
Welcome to the team.
