Remembering Brodie Lee 13-minute read AEW
Jon Huber, known in wrestling as Brodie Lee and Luke Harper, passed away suddenly on December 26, from non-COVID related lung issues. He was 41. In a year rife with shock and tragedy within the wrestling industry, his passing registers as one of the biggest: Universally loved by his peers, lauded for his dedication to fatherhood and his commitment to his friends, and professionally in the middle of a creative renaissance that instantly made him one of the most compelling characters on television, it is hard impossible, even to imagine wrestling without Jon Huber, but here we are.
As noted, AEW President, CEO & General Manager Tony Khan announced today that Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite episode on TNT will be now a tribute to Brodie Lee (Jon Huber, fka Luke Harper). Harper passed away at the age of 41 on Saturday due to a non-COVID-19 lung issue.
Khan announced a special card for Wednesday’s tribute show, which will see the favorite wrestlers of Lee’s son Brodie Jr. team up, for one night only. Khan announced Orange Cassidy, Cody Rhodes and Preston “10” Vance vs. Team Taz as one of the matches. He noted in a follow-up tweet that these are three of Brodie Jr.’s favorite wrestlers.
