Lee Moriarty is officially All Elite.
All Elite Wrestling confirmed the news after his match with Bobby Fish on Friday night’s special “Buy In” ahead of AEW Rampage. Though he lost the bout, he still had an impressive performance.

Moriarty has appeared on a few episodes of AEW Dark and AEW Dark: Elevation in recent weeks. Company president Tony Khan previously offered the master of “Taiga Style” a contract, but this announcement is the first confirmation that Moriarty has signed full-time.
“The Apex of Combat” has competed throughout the independent scene in recent years; he also wrestled for MLW as a participant in the 2021 Opera Cup. (Ironically, he lost to Fish in the first round.)
