Otis and Tucker are two of the most underutilized talents in WWE. The two were split earlier this year, but they always found themselves at home when spending time with Brodie.
The former AEW TNT Champion had the time of his career in AEW, blossoming into something big. However, few fans knew about just how good a man he was outside the ring.
He received thousands of tributes following the news of his untimely death. Lee’s wife Manda confirmed in an Instagram post that he had passed due to a non-COVID-related lung problem.
Brodie Lee touched the hearts of countless Superstars
Brodie may have been part of the occult-themed Wyatt family or the head of a villainous faction in AEW, but he was nothing less of a helping character outside the ropes.
The several stories about his kindness, helping gestures, and loving personality stand as a testament to his character. More than anything, Lee was a family man and loved his children.

He was often seen talking about how close they were to him, and his loss will deeply impact them. He did, however, get to see his son in the ring one last time in a dark taping where Kenny Omega jokingly lost the AEW Championship to him.
One common theme amongst the tributes pouring in for Brodie Lee is the love he had for his family.
This video illustrates that. #RipBrodieLee #RIPJonHuber
