He s being underutilized - Wrestling veteran believes Tony Khan is misusing former world champion in AEW

Lethal made his debut on November 13, 2021 at Full Gear. Since then, he has lost the majority of his high-profile matches, notably against Cody Rhodes and Jon Moxley. His career took a turn when he turned heel and aligned himself with Sonjay Dutt and Satnam Singh, which led to a string of victories.

The former WCW Television Champion noted that it was the opposite of what he's doing in the Jacksonville-based promotion. Disco believes that Khan's company isn't maximizing Lethal's promo and in-ring skills. "It's very clear that he's being underutilized in AEW. We've been saying that for a while about him. He's a professional talker, he's very good in the ring and he's... he is. He's being underutilized."
