Brodie Lee Jr. clarifies his AEW contract status
In a new interview with The Wrestling Classic, Brodie Lee Jr. clarified what his AEW contract status actually is.
The 13-year-old Brodie is not officially under contract anywhere at the moment, though he did sign an AEW deal in 2020 during his father’s difficult health battle. Brodie explained to The Wrestling Classic that the contract he signed still exists but is not in effect yet. It is a totally optional deal that gives him the choice of whether or not he wants to join AEW as a wrestler when he turns 18 years old.
“I’m not signed. Everybody thinks I’m signed. I’m not signed,” he said. “The deal was, when I turn 18, if I want that contract, it is always open. The only thing I really signed was a — it was that, and I also signed a random, like, contract for when I turned 18: me vs. Mox in a death match.”
Brodie said he definitely does want to wrestle Jon Moxley, but he doesn’t know if he actually wants to have a death match.
Wrestling is something that Brodie is passionate about, and he hopes to make it his career. He’s trained with Natalya and TJ Wilson at their Dungeon facility and has made appearances in AEW, ROH, and GCW. He’s also been in the crowd supporting his friend Cody Rhodes in WWE.
Brodie Lee Sr. (Jon Huber) passed away at 41 years old in December 2020 due to a rare lung disease. His wife Amanda Huber works for AEW as a community outreach coordinator.
