Following his passing, several of Jon Huber’s (Brodie Lee in AEW and Luke Harper in WWE) former WWE co-workers paid tribute to him on Monday’s episode of Raw.
Monday’s Raw opened with a tribute graphic for Huber. Throughout the night, Tom Phillips, Drew McIntyre, Alexa Bliss, Ricochet, Xavier Woods, and T-Bar also paid tribute to Huber.
Phillips opened the show by saying “It’s Monday, and you know what that means,” a reference to Huber’s daily Twitter posts. McIntyre also used that phrase during his promo at the start of the show.
McIntyre and Bliss both used “Yeah, yeah yeah,” which Huber would say during his time as Luke Harper in WWE.
Woods and Ricochet honored Huber by hitting discus lariats during their matches on tonight’s show. Woods also wore a “Brodie” armband.
T-Bar paid tribute to Huber during RETRIBUTION’s entrance.
On Raw Talk, Woods and Kofi Kingston spoke about how important Huber was to them and everyone in the company. They also discussed what an amazing father Huber was to his two sons. Woods asked everyone to remember Huber for the man he was, the legacy he leaves, and to keep Huber in their thoughts.
Huber passed away on December 26 after battling a non COVID-19 related lung issue. Huber’s wife Amanda thanked the Mayo Clinic for treating her husband, calling them “literally the best team of doctors and nurses in the world who surrounded me with constant love.”
AEW has announced that this Wednesday’s Dynamite will be a Brodie Lee tribute show. It will include some of Huber’s son Brodie’s favorite wrestlers (Cody Rhodes, Orange Cassidy & Preston “10” Vance) teaming together for one night only in a six-man tag match against Team Taz (Brian Cage, Ricky Starks & Powerhouse Hobbs).
