AEW News Roundup - Major star interested in signing, WWE's reaction to Renee Young's baby announcement, Liv Morgan spotted with Dark Order member (16th June 2021)

#1. Brodie Lee Jr. talks about working with Tay Conti in AEW, future as a pro wrestler

It's astonishing that AEW's Brodie Lee Jr. is just eight years old! The Dark Order member was a guest on the recent AEW Unrestricted podcast episode filmed at the Fan Fest, where he spoke about his on-screen alliance with Tay Conti.

Negative One recalled coming out with Anna Jay and Conti for the first time several months ago. He noted he was confused about who he'd accompany to the ring following Jay's injury, but Conti thankfully stepped in and they ended up becoming best friends.

The two have continued to appear together on AEW Dark programming.

"I came out with her (Anna Jay) and Tay for the first time. We came out with each other, and I did the heart thing (symbol with his hands) with Anna. Then Anna got injured. I was like, 'Who's going to come out with you?' She said, 'I don't know.' I said, 'Maybe it can be me.' We started doing it, and we clicked. Now we are best friends," said Negative One.

Negative One added he only sees himself becoming a wrestler as he has been a fan of the business since a young age. He wants to follow in his father's footsteps and relive his legacy.

"There is zero percent chance I'm going to be anything else but a professional wrestler. I have been doing wrestling since I was one. I've watched wrestling since I was one. I've done it, and I'm going to do it because my dad did it. I'm not going to stop and not relive his legacy."

Negative One has an AEW contract waiting for him once he is an adult, but we're surely going to see a lot of the lively kid in the years to come before he turns into an actual pro.
