Amanda Huber shared a touching story on Instagram. Her son, Brodie Lee Jr., got to train with WWE Superstar Natalya and WWE producer TJ Wilson, formerly known as Tyson Kidd. WWE star Liv Morgan worked in he ring with Lee Jr. Huber also commented on her son’s promo on AEW Dark.
“I thought AEW was just letting him have some fun after a really really tough night,” wrote Huber. “Having them air it was incredible and I wish you guys could have seen his smile when we watched it. I told him what @tonyrkhan said about his promo and he was BEAMING.”
Huber additionally offered some clarification about Lee Jr.’s contract with All Elite Wrestling:
“1) His contract with AEW is valid on his 18th birthday *if* he chooses to wrestle,” wrote Huber. “Nobody is going to push it with him. If you were to spend 10 minutes talking to him you’d understand why they gave him a contract though.
“2) School is number one for him.
“3) He is not seriously training at the moment or will be taking bookings or anything ridiculous right now.”
She ended the message with a touching reflection on Lee Jr.’s recent involvement with wrestling. “At this moment, all of this wrestling around him is our friends trying to make an 8-year-old pro wrestling fan feel a bit of happiness after losing his hero,” Huber stated.
