AEW superstars pay tribute to Brodie Lee
Lee had a fantastic run with AEW. He signed with the company in 2020 itself, and in no time was pushed to the main event. He faced Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at Double or Nothing, which was his first pay-per-view appearance in AEW.
Moxley’s wife and former WWE commentator Renee Paquette paid tribute to one of her husband’s biggest rivals.
Absolutely heartbroken. Sending so much love to Brodie and his family. ❤️

It’s Saturday. You know what that means…
Backstage in Mexico in 2015. Brodie was annoyed that he didn’t have his own merch t-shirt, so one of the brothers got a bunch made in his honor. We all wore them in tribute to the dude, cause everybody loved him. Just a wonderful man! pic.twitter.com/6XXl8Kr6iW— Chris Jericho (@IAmJericho) December 27, 2020
I don’t know how to feel. I’m so heartbroken. Thinking about his wife and children who he loved so much. He was such a great man and helped me more than I could’ve asked for. He will be missed terribly..

I’m devastated by the loss of Jon Huber, known to fans as Mr. Brodie Lee, formerly Luke Harper. Jon was a great man. His family came first, his loving wife Amanda & their sons Brodie + Nolan. He loved wrestling & was great at it, he loved you fans. Please keep him in your hearts.
