AEW President Tony Khan pens down an emotional tribute for Brodie Lee on his fifth death anniversary

Tony Khan's AEW roster had one of the most promising talents, Brodie Lee, following his departure from WWE in 2019. However, he unexpectedly left for the heavenly abode, and Khan recently decided to pay tribute to the late wrestler.

Brodie Lee came to prominence as a member of The Wyatt Family in WWE. After he debuted in AEW in 2020, Lee began a captivating singles run that led him to also become the TNT champion on one occasion. However, the Exalted One passed away on November 26, 2020, due to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis at the age of 41.

AEW President and CEO Tony Khan took to his X to pen down a heartfelt note for Lee on the occasion of his fifth death anniversary. He called Lee an amazing wrestler and a big family man, while admiring his love for the business and remembering him fondly.

"5 years ago today, the world lost Jon Huber, a great man known to fans as Mr. Brodie Lee + Luke Harper. His family came first, his loving wife Amanda and their sons Brodie + Nolan. He loved wrestling, + he was an amazing wrestler. He loved you fans. Please keep him in your hearts."
