Cody Rhodes Unites With AEW Stars for a Heartwarming Celebration of Brodie Lee’s Son’s Birthday

Cody Rhodes has enhanced his stature in the pro wrestling realm by playing one of the most endearing babyfaces in recent times. The former AEW star indulged in a storied celebration to elevate his standing with fans yet again. Despite the moniker of ‘The American Nightmare,’ Rhodes is the complete opposite in real life. Rhodes’ inherent kindness shines through via the most recent gesture he performed with an AEW star for Brodie Lee’s son.

Brodie Lee, better known as Luke Harper in the WWE, passed away on December 26, 2020. His work in AEW gained him a massive following after the lukewarm reception to his gimmick in the WWE. The 2023 Royal Rumble winner made sure to make Lee’s son feel atop the world by celebrating his birthday in a magical way.

On March 18, 2020, Lee debuted in AEW, and within a few months, he was one of the most over-stars in the company. This starkly contrasted his run in the WWE, where fans did not like his character as Luke Harper of the Wyatt Family. Being allowed to give his promos and add a creative spin to his gimmick allowed Lee to shine.

Unfortunately, in the same year, the beloved wrestler, husband, and father passed away. Despite now working for WWE, Rhodes kept close to Lee’s family. Brodie Lee Jr. was seen in the audience at WrestleMania to cheer Rhodes on. On his birthday, Rhodes reunited with Will Hobbs of AEW to ensure Lee Jr. had a great birthday. The American Nightmare took to social media to share images from the special day.

Despite leaving AEW behind, Rhodes has always supported AEW talent. This is mostly because he was there when the talent joined. He has not spoken negatively about the company, even when asked why he left and returned to the WWE. Rhodes has proven to be the top guy in the pro wrestling business when it comes to being an in-ring performer as well as a professional.

Currently, Rhodes is trying to finish his story that started at WrestleMania 39. Unfortunately for him, there are many obstacles in his way in the form of Shinsuke Nakamura and Drew McIntyre, both of whom want to finish their stories before Rhodes.

There is also the possibility of CM Punk being added to that list. It’s safe to say Rhodes has his plate full at the moment. What did you think about Rhodes’ gesture towards Lee’s son? Tell us down below.
