5 AEW stars and their parents' professions

#2. AEW star Lee Johnson

Lee Johnson is one of AEW's hottest young talents. The 23-year-old kicked off his career nearly four years ago in the World Wrestling Alliance. He later enrolled in Cody Rhodes' Nightmare Factory school, where he trained and graduated.

Johnson, as you no doubt gathered, does not come from a wrestling family. Nonetheless, his father does work in the entertainment industry. The 23-year-old recently revealed his dad's profession during his appearance on Brandi Rhodes' YouTube show A Shot Of Brandi.

"My dad is in the music industry. He is a music producer. He used to work alongside guys like T.I," Johnson said.

Johnson made his AEW debut in early 2020. However, he had to wait until February 2021 to score his first victory. He teamed up with Cody Rhodes to defeat Cezar Bononi and Peter Avalon. Since then, the 23-year-old has won 19 other matches. Johnson also attempted to capture the AEW TNT Championship from Miro this August. While giving a solid performance, Johnson came up short.

Johnson has also been enjoying his time outside the squared circle. The AEW star recently revealed on Rhodes to the Top that he is dating his colleague Julia Hart.
