About Bryan Keith
Born 1991. Bryan Keith is a wrestler.
Professional wrestling career
Independent circuit (2013–present) Bryan Keith began training in Reality of Wrestling (ROW) and made his ROW television debut in July 2013. He made a one-off appearance in WWE's 205 Live in June 2018. Initially having a cowboy persona, ROW owner Booker T recommended Keith to adopt a bounty hunter gimmick inspired by Sammy Davis Jr.'s character from The Rifleman. Keith served as a trainer in ROW until his departure from the promotion.
In 2019, Keith became the first professional wrestler to be officially sponsored by Swishahouse.
In 2023, Keith began making appearances for Deadlock Pro-Wrestling. At Beast Coast, Keith defeated Andrew Everett to become the DPW National Champion.
On September 20, 2025 at DEFY Wrestling's Aeon, Keith defeated Clark Connors to win the DEFY World Championship.
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. He made his All Elite Wrestling (AEW) television debut the following day at Collision, losing an AEW International Championship match to Orange Cassidy. On February 3, 2024, Tony Khan confirmed that Keith had signed a contract with AEW.
On May 26, 2024, at Double or Nothing, Keith turned heel by helping Chris Jericho retain his FTW Championship against Hook and Katsuyori Shibata, joining Jericho's newly formed Learning Tree stable. 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. 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. 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. In July 2025, Keith would drop "The Bad Apple" moniker and returned to being "The Bounty Hunter".
In 2026, Keith and Bill began teaming under the name "Paid In Full". Bill departed AEW in July 2026 upon the expiration of his contract, effectively disbanding Paid In Full and leaving Keith as a singles wrestler.
