Terribly sad. I only met the Briscoes briefly in FCW in 2008, but I know everything about them because their careers are legendary. Incredible contributors to this industry. #DemBoys
On behalf of the @WWENXT community, I would like to express our condolences to the Briscoe family for their loss.

Jay Briscoe was mentioned on WWE NXT
Jay Briscoe, despite his sensational ability inside the ring and on the mic, never got national television exposure in WWE and AEW. Despite that, during Tuesday's episode of NXT, the commentary team acknowledged his untimely passing during the show.
NXT paying tribute to Jay Briscoe is a reminder that despite the tribalism that some fans push, pro wrestling is just a huge family.
So happy to see them pay respects like this. https://t.co/rfBeGcnQvR
Jay Briscoe has left behind an unforgettable legacy, whether it be tag team wrestling or singles action. His matches with his brother Mark Briscoe will be remembered for years to come. As a singles star, Jay won the ROH World Championship twice.
What he will be remembered for very fondly is his catalog of legendary tag team matches. The Briscoe Brothers are a whopping 13-time ROH Tag Team Champions and were the current holders of the titles as well.
Their latest win came at the Final Battle Pay-Per-View in December, when they defeated former WWE stars FTR to capture the titles for the 13th time. They did so in a Dog Collar match, which was widely noted as the best match in all of 2022.
The Briscoe Brothers' last match came on December 17, 2022, when they defended the HOG Tag Team Championship. In a Best Two Out Of Three Falls match, The Mane Event's Jay Lyon and Midas Black defeated The Briscoe Brothers in yet another excellent match and become the new champions.
