6 youngest wrestlers signed to AEW

The current AEW roster includes talent from diverse age groups to provide the perfect blend of youth and experience.

Having said this, Tony Khan believes youth is the company's future with the energy, vibrancy, athleticism, and heart they bring to the table. He sees young talent as a long-term investment, giving them all the tools to become big stars in the future.

In this article, we will look at six of the youngest wrestlers signed to AEW.

Special Mention - Brodie Lee Jr. aka Negative One

Brodie Lee Jr., the son of the late Brodie Lee, is eight years old right now but has all intentions of joining the AEW roster once he becomes an adult. Tony Khan's company has already put a pro wrestling contract on the table, which the youngster can fulfill when he turns 18.

However, young Brodie's mother has mentioned that school is his priority and he won't be engaging in serious training. Having said this, Negative One has made frequent appearances on AEW, which he gets to do as long as he gets good grades in school.

#6 AEW wrestler Alan Angels - 23 years old

Alan Angels, born on February 16, 1998, is one of the youngest wrestlers on the AEW roster. He is a member of The Dark Order, under the ring name 5.

Angels debuted on April 8, 2020, episode of AEW Dynamite in a squash match against Lance Archer. Not many wrestlers have been able to kick out of AEW World Champion Kenny Omega's V-Trigger, but Angels did that the same month.

A solid performer with many potentials, Angels, has shared the ring with stars like Rey Fenix, one-half of the current AEW World Tag Team Champions, and Sammy Guevara, the reigning AEW TNT Champion.

#5 AEW wrestler Anna Jay - 23 years old

Born on July 15, 1998, Anna Jay is one of the fastest-rising young stars on the current AEW roster. Like Angels, she is also a member of The Dark Order.

On April 1, 2020, Anna debuted on AEW Dynamite against Hikaru Shida, albeit with a loss. Despite the setback, she has successfully teamed up with her partner Tay Conti as they advanced to the semi-final stage of the AEW Women's Tag Team Cup Tournament: The Deadly Draw. They had their biggest moment when they defeated current AEW Women's World Champion Britt Baker and her partner, Penelope Ford.

Even in singles action, Anna Jay has had victories over Brandi Rhodes, Alex Garcia, Red Velvet, Skyler Moore, Katalina Perez, Dani Jordyn, and Jazmin Allure, making her a force to be reckoned with.

#4 Hook - 22 years old

Hook, born on May 4, 1999, is a trainee in the AEW heel faction called Team Taz. He is the son of Taz, the leader of this faction.

The 22-year-old has made several appearances on AEW television. He is currently training to become a wrestler. Surprisingly Hook has developed a fanbase despite not competing in any matches so far. His partner Ricky Starks commented on Hook's popularity during an interview with the WrestleTalk Podcast.

"I think it’s pretty cool for the fact that Hook hasn’t really said much of anything and he hasn’t wrestled at all. It’s such a crazy thing to think about because he hasn’t done anything, and yet he has this groundswell for him. But that only helps to add the mystique of Hook. What is he about? How does he sound? How does he wrestle? I like his mysterious, cool, James Dean type feel he has going on," Starks said.

#3 AEW wrestler Darius Martin (Top Flight) - 22 years old

Born on September 12, 1999, Darius Martin is one-half of the up-and-coming tag team on Top Flight's AEW roster. His in-ring athleticism is worth every praise.

Darius was trained by ex-WWE Superstar Ken Anderson and WWE Hall of Famer Molly Holly. He has competed with his younger brother Dante against established tag teams like The Young Bucks and Chris Jericho & MJF on the AEW roster.

#2 AEW wrestler Dante Martin (Top Flight) - 20 years old

AEW star Dante Martin, born on March 3, 2001, is the other half of Top Flight and the younger brother of Darius. He has been mighty impressive in the tag team as well as in singles and multi-man matches.

His high-flying arsenal is undoubtedly second to none, which gives Dante more height on his jumps while performing in the ring. He first gained the attention of fans in a six-man tag team match with Mike and Matt Sydal against AEW World Champion Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks.

AEW star CM Punk recently mentioned Dante as one of the young talents he would like to face. He said:

"I'm a kid at Christmas. I've already mentioned a couple of names like, a kid like Dante Martin, I watch him and see the stuff he can do and I feel like I'm watching a 1995 Nitro where it just has a different feel to it. It feels gritty, it feels rough around the edges and oh here by the way, here's these two Luchadors that had a layover in Tijuana and they're exhausted and they got a six minute match but they put on such a show... They pack so much into six minutes and have it make sense and all this stuff like the stuff I see this kid Dante Martin do, I go, 'Oh,'" Punk continued. "I'm an artist and I've never painted with that brush before, or I can't wait to get a hold of that brush," CM Punk said.

#1 Julia Hart - 19 years old

Born on November 8, 2001, Julia Hart is the youngest wrestler on the roster. She has put on impressive performances across AEW Dark and AEW Dynamite.

Hart made her AEW debut on May 4, 2021, in a special show called AEW Blood and Guts, where she lost to the current AEW Women's World Champion, Britt Baker. Her first victory in AEW came when she beat Tesha Price on the May 25 episode of AEW.

Unfortunately for Julia, she missed her first pay-per-view appearance at All Out, where she was scheduled to participate in the Casino Battle Royale when she injured her leg. Nonetheless, Hart has become very popular on AEW.
