Cody Rhodes teamed with Nightmare Family member Lee Johnson on tonight’s episode of Dynamite and Lee got his first-ever win in AEW as he and Cody defeated Peter Avalon and Cezar Bononi.
Lee began working with AEW in April of 2020. His first Dynamite appearance happened in that same month as he took on Brodie Lee. Johnson competed on Dark and Dynamite in the months following and after scoring his first victory on 2/10, AEW President Tony Khan announced that Lee is officially signed to All Elite Wrestling.
In April most of the roster couldn’t travel & we needed local talent for #AEWDynamite. @CodyRhodes recommended his pupil @BigShottyLee. Lee came & worked so hard. I was blown away & kept booking him. With Cody’s guidance Lee got his 1st win tonight! Congrats Lee now it’s official pic.twitter.com/hnINnF5Iep

Lee began wrestling in 2017 out of Georgia. He continued to work a number of independent shows in the south and then began working with QT Marshall at The Nightmare Factory and eventually joined The Nightmare Family.
The latest pair of talents to join The Nightmare Family were Aaron Solow and Nick Comoroto.
