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 and joined Jericho's
Learning Tree. 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". ==Championships and accomplishments==
