Breaking News: Mr. Brodie Lee Has Passed Away At Age 41

We have some incredibly sad news to report this evening as Jon Huber, better known as Mr. Brodie Lee in AEW has passed away at the age of 41.

AEW has issued a statement, which reads as follows:

The All Elite Wrestling family is heartbroken. In an industry filled with good people, Jon Huber was exceptionally respected and beloved in every way – a fierce and captivating talent, a thoughtful mentor and simply a very kind soul that starkly contradicted his persona as Mr. Brodie Lee.

Jon’s love for his wife Amanda, and children Brodie and Nolan, was evident to all of us who are fortunate to spend time with him, and we send our love and support his beautiful family, today and always. Jon’s popularity among his peers and influence on the wrestling world was worldwide and transcended AEW, so this loss will be felt by many for a long time.

We were privileged at AEW to call Jon Huber a brother, a friend and one of our own.

Brodie Lee was last seen on AEW television on the October 7, 2020 episode of Dynamite, where he lost the TNT Championship to Cody Rhodes in a Dog Collar Match. He had been off of television since that date, due to an injury.

Prior to his time in AEW, Huber previously wrestled in WWE under the name Luke Harper, where he was an Intercontinental Champion and a multiple-time Tag Team champion. He had been revealed as “The Exalted One” of The Dark Order, and had been using that gimmick throughout his time in AEW.
