Bryan Keith looks back on joining The Learning Tree.
Keith aligned with Chris Jericho and Big Bill at AEW Double or Nothing 2024. In doing so, he joined The Learning Tree, and he has been paired up with them ever since. The trio faced Rated FTR (Cope, Dax Harwood, and Cash Wheeler) on the January 4 episode of AEW Collision.
Speaking on 93.7 the Beat, Bryan Keith was asked about joining the Learning Tree.
“I was backstage, and there was talks of me joining different groups. Joining Chris Jericho was not one of them. I get a tap on my shoulder, and I turn around, and who is it? It’s Chris Jericho. He’s telling me, ‘Hey, you’re gonna be with me from now on.’ I took a moment to take it in. I actually just squatted on the floor next to him. He’s like, ‘What are you doing?’ I’m just holding my brain, I’m like, ‘I gotta fathom this real quick. This is ridiculous, it’s too much.’ Chris Jericho is super legendary. So me aligning with him, figuratively and literally being under his learning tree has been ridiculous. The year started off great, 2025. Wrestled in North Carolina. Wrestled with Chris Jericho. Got speared by Edge and then my ass kicked by the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express at the end of the night, so my 2025 is starting off great," Keith said.
