"I'll never forget this moment" - Brodie Lee's (Luke Harper) wife looks back on late star's iconic victory in WWE five years ago
WrestleMania 34 was a big event for many WWE Superstars. Among them was Brodie Lee (Luke Harper), who won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship with Rowan at the event.
AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura had a memorable match for the WWE Championship at the high-profile show. Styles retained his title, forcing Nakamura to turn heel after the bout. Meanwhile, Brock Lesnar defeated Roman Reigns to retain his Universal Championship in the main event.
The Bludgeon Brothers (Rowan and Luke Harper) faced off against The Usos and The New Day in a Triple Threat Tag Team match for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship. Harper and Rowan put on a great show and won their first SmackDown Tag Team Championship together on April 8, 2018.
Following his big win, Harper celebrated and searched for his family in the crowd. His wife recently took to Twitter to share a photo of him and recall the moment her late husband won the title five years ago.
"5 years ago. I’ll never forget this moment. I didn’t know he was going to win. He was ‘just happy to be a part of this match.’ He got to work his 2 favorite teams with his brother @ErickRedBeard. He won & searched the crowd for us. This was the moment he spotted us," she wrote.
