AEW CEO Tony Khan, WWE And Others On Brodie Lee’s Passing

As previously reported, top AEW Star Brodie Lee (known as Luke Harper in WWE) recently passed away at the age of 41. Lee (real name: Jon Huber) was most popularly known for his time in WWE as part of the Wyatt Family and the leader of AEW’s Dark Order stable known as “The Exalted One.”

The Exalted One challenged Jon Moxley for his AEW World Title earlier this year at AEW Double or Nothing and won the TNT Championship this summer when he defeated “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes.

AEW released a statement on Twitter expressing their condolences for Huber and his family. Jon’s wife Amanda recently took to her Instagram and remembered her husband. She mentioned that Jon Huber passed away from a non-COVID-19 lung issue.

She also said that Jon Huber passed away surrounded by his loved ones after a hard-fought battle with the lung issue. She then thanked The Mayo Clinic for their help.

AEW CEO Tony Khan, WWE and a number of stars commented on the tragic and unfortunate passing of AEW’s Brodie Lee, which includes Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, John Cena, Stu Grayson, John Silver and many more, which you can check out below.

I’m devastated by the loss of Jon Huber, known to fans as Mr. Brodie Lee, formerly Luke Harper. Jon was a great man. His family came first, his loving wife Amanda & their sons Brodie + Nolan. He loved wrestling & was great at it, he loved you fans. Please keep him in your hearts.

When long trips away from home made me miss my wife and daughter, you always made it a little easier. Great wrestler, but perfect family man. I’ll make sure Amanda, Brodie and Nolan always know how much they meant to you. I loved being your friend. Rest In Peace, Jon. pic.twitter.com/wR5927Xlx1

It’s hard to explain to people, and I’m not certain he would want me to, that the biggest, scariest man you’ll ever see on your television is the kindest soul you’d ever meet. A model of a husband and father, and proof that some people are too good for this earth. ♥️ https://t.co/jm6YKlRNBu

This is all a grotesque nightmare on a scale none of us can possibly comprehend, this year has done nothing but take and I think we are all empty, tired and drained. Sleep well my friend, thank you so much for the road trips and the advice through the years. You were golden.

When I got stitched up months ago, Brodie was 1 of the first to check on me & ask if I was ok. I replied “I’m too old & beat up to actually get beat up & hurt. I’m fine.”

That led to Brodie hitting me with his amazing trademark laughter & smile & this pic.❤️

Gutted to hear about Jon passing away. He saved me from a broken neck. He would get so mad when I pulled up a chair for him to sit in and referred to him as ‘Taker-sir.’
“You’re gonna get me heat, kid.”
