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 AEWās Dark Order stable known as āThe Exalted One.ā
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 āThe American Nightmareā Cody Rhodes.
AEW released a statement on Twitter expressing their condolences for Huber and his family. Jonās 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 AEWās 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.
Iām 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.
