The life of Jon Huber (Brodie Lee/Luke Harper) was celebrated on AEW Dynamite. As the show went on the air on TNT, AEW released a Brodie Lee t-shirt and all of the proceeds are going to the Huber family. That can be found at this link.
At the conclusion of the show, Cody Rhodes shared a few words about Jon Huber and his experiences with him throughout their years together in the business. Cody then introduced Amanda and Brodie Huber, wife and son of Jon. They were followed out by AEW President Tony Khan and 10 (Preston Vance) of Dark Order. Jon Huber’s wrestling boots were placed in the middle of the ring and his son was given a TNT Championship belt as Tony Khan referred to Jon as the greatest TNT Champion and his son as the champion for life. A video package was the final tribute to air on the program.
