Brodie Lee Jr aka -1 is probably the youngest superstar in the pro wrestling industry. The 8-year-old became the de facto leader of the AEW roster after his father, Brodie Lee Sr. unfortunately passed away last year.
Currently, he is a member of the Dark Order stable. The promotion plans to offer him a full-time contract after he comes of age and if he is willing to stay in the industry.
As fans might have noticed, the kendo-stick-wielding youngster was not present during the last few months of AEW Dynamite. Turns out, Brodie is actually getting punished for letting his grades slip in favor of wrestling.

His mother and the widow of Brodie Lee Sr, Amanda Huber, revealed the same on Instagram. A user joked around Lee’s grades, and Amanda confirmed it.
“He stopped doing his work, so he lost privileges,” she revealed. “I don’t make money off any appearances he does at AEW, it’s purely for fun. It’s his favorite place in the world and a reward for hard work. He managed to finish his school year with all A’s and B’s despite slipping up a bit. I’m very proud of him.”
