Multiple WWE and AEW stars pay tribute to Brodie Lee on his death anniversary

The late Jon Huber, aka Brodie Lee in AEW, tragically passed away on this day two years ago. Several WWE and All Elite stars paid tribute to the former TNT Champion on social media.

Before AEW, Brodie Lee gained prominence under the ring name Luke Harper in WWE. As a member of Bray Wyatt's faction, The Wyatt Family, he began his career in NXT and then progressed to the main roster. Besides being a former Intercontinental Champion, The Exalted One held the SmackDown Tag Team Titles twice.

Brodie Lee signed a contract with AEW in 2020 after being let go by WWE in December 2019. He debuted as The Dark Order faction's leader. He defeated Cody Rhodes for the TNT Championship not long after his arrival.

Lee later dropped the title The American Nightmare. He was admitted to the hospital in late October 2020 for an unspecified lung condition. Unfortunately, Huber died two months later, on December 26, at the age of 41.

In a video tribute to Lee's remarkable legacy, the official AEW Twitter account shared vignettes and pictures from his life, both inside and outside the wrestling business.

Here's the video posted by AEW:
