AEW Announces Special Brodie Lee Tribute Episode of Dynamite This Wednesday

Tony Khan announced that this Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite will be a “celebration of the life of Brodie Lee,” who tragically passed away this past Saturday of a lung issue.

Khan said that the show will include “tributes and a special card of matches dedicated to The Exalted One,” and added, “This night is intended to honor Jon, but also this is for Amanda, and their sons Brodie (-1) & Nolan.”

AEW’s New Year’s Smash shows, which were set to take place over the next two Wednesdays, will be pushed back one week and will happen on January 6 and 13.

“I haven’t slept much recently, I have a lot of responsibilities across my different roles, but this was the hardest week I’ve ever experienced,” Khan tweeted. “I’ll miss Jon very much. I worked all night on a tribute card to honor him, the response from Amanda & from fans made me cry. Thank you.”

I signed up the unorthodox trio of @CodyRhodes, @orangecassidy & 10 as they’re 3 of -1’s favorite wrestlers. There’s a lot of history between the 3 of them, 10 is Cody’s former student who turned his back on the Nightmare Factory, but they’ll all team to honor Brodie on Wednesday
