Professional wrestling career

Early career (2017–2020)

Trained by AR Fox and Q. T. Marshall[1] Johnson made his professional wrestling debut on 2017, working at World Wrestling Alliance 4 (WWA4) in Georgia.[1][2]

All Elite Wrestling / Ring of Honor (2020–present)

Johnson made his All Elite Wrestling (AEW) debut on the April 7, 2020, episode of AEW Dark in a losing effort against his trainer Q.T. Marshall.[3] Johnson subsequently joined his trainer's new stable The Factory alongside Cole Karter, Nick Comoroto, Aaron Solo, and QT Marshall.[4][5] After the dissolution of The Factory, Lee Johnson began making appearances with the revived Ring of Honor.[6] At Supercard of Honor, he unsuccessfully challenged Kyle Fletcher for the ROH World Television Championship. In October 2024, Johnson formed a tag team with E. J. Nduka, known as "LEEJ". In December 2024 at Final Battle Zero Hour, LEEJ turned heel after by attacking Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) after losing to them in a tag match.[7]

In 2025, LEEJ quietly disbanded as Johnson formed an alliance with Blake Christian known as The Swirl.[8] On the January 1, 2026 episode of Ring of Honor Wrestling, Johnson and Christian added Jay Lethal to their alliance with the trio going by the name of "The Lethal Twist".[9] On August 21 at Death Before Dishonor, The Lethal Twist defeated Dalton Castle and The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum) to win the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship.[10]

Personal life

Johnson married fellow professional wrestler Julia Hart on October 13, 2023.[11]
