This week’s AEW Dynamite will be a tribute to Brodie Lee

The founder and CEO of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Tony Khan, confirmed that the promotion will be hosting a special episode as a tribute to Brodie Lee.

Brodie Lee, whose real name is Jon Huber, passed away this week due to a lung problem. His wife Amanda Huber confirmed that his battle with the disease was a long one and that it was not Covid related.

Ever since the news was announced, tributes have been coming in from all corners of the world. Wrestling stars and fans have come together to honour the life of The Exalted One.

This included CM Punk confirming that all proceeds from his merchandise sale will go to Huber’s family. Lee was a former wrestler with WWE, where he fought under the moniker ‘Luke Harper’.

He left WWE in December 2019 to join AEW in March 2020. And now, his latest employers have announced a gesture that will sit well with the entire wrestling world.

This Wednesday on #AEWDynamite, we’ll celebrate the life of Jon Huber (Mr. Brodie Lee) with a show including tributes and a special card of matches dedicated to The Exalted One. This night is intended to honor Jon, but also this is for Amanda, and their sons Brodie (-1) & Nolan.

Jon Huber’s wife Amanda Huber, and his sons Brodie & Nolan, are also expected to be in attendance for the 30th December episode titled ‘Brodie Lee Celebration of Life’.

This is truly a classy gesture from AEW and the fans have nothing but positive words to say for it. Many flocked the replies of Khan’s tweet to show their appreciation for the promotion’s decision.

Sounds incredible.

How great would it be if NXT did a tribute show as well? Two shows honoring the life of a wonderful friend and father gone too soon!
