AEW and its CEO, Tony Khan, have marked the one-year anniversary of Jay Briscoe’s passing.
In a social media post on X, the promotion posted a two-minute video honoring Briscoe, real name Jamin Pugh.
Set to the song ‘New Again’ by Alto Rowan, the video shows Jay and his brother Mark as youngsters, high school athletes, and in various stages of their pro wrestling careers.

The video, which was first aired in 2023, was accompanied by this message:
