All Elite Wrestling / Ring of Honor (2023–present)
At Ring of Honor’s (ROH) Final Battle on December 15, 2023, Keith won the qualifier but lost the Survival of the Fittest match. [6] He made his All Elite Wrestling (AEW) television debut the following day at Collision , losing an AEW International Championship match to Orange Cassidy. [7] On February 3, 2024, Tony Khan confirmed that Keith had signed a contract with AEW. [8]
On May 26, 2024, at Double or Nothing, Keith turned heel by helping Chris Jericho retain his FTW Championship against Hook and Katsuyori Shibata and joined Jericho's Learning Tree. [9] On the June 12 episode of Dynamite, fellow member Big Bill and Keith were dubbed "The Redwood" and "The Bad Apple" respectively.
On April 6, 2025 at Dynasty, Keith and Bill unsuccessfully challenged The Hurt Syndicate for the AEW World Tag Team Championship. He later attempted to interfere in the ROH World Championship match between Jericho and Bandido, but would be stopped by Bandido's brother Gravity. [10] On the following episode of Dynamite, tension in The Learning Tree would disband as Jericho would blame losing the ROH World Championship on both Big Bill and Bryan Keith, before saying it's best that he leaves for a while until Bill and Keith make a change. [11] [12] [13] As a tag team, Keith and Bill were able to find success without Jericho, defeating Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) in a Chicago Street Fight. [14] In July 2025, Keith would drop "The Bad Apple" moniker and returned to being "The Bounty Hunter". [15]
