In December 2020, the passing of AEW wrestler Brodie Lee aka Luke Harper for WWE Universe saddened many fans and stars. Many of his WWE co-wrestlers like Big E, Randy Orton Bray Wyatt, Seth Rollins, Erick Rowan, etc. called him a kind and gentle human being. 

Today, even two years after Lee had passed away, wrestling stars and fans remember him, particularly when a show takes place in Rochester, NY. Similarly, Rollins recently did a class act by paying Harper a tribute at a WWE event in Lee’s hometown.

Recently, a Twitter user Ella Jay shared a video from the WWE House show in Rochester, NY. Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins took the mic and paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Brodie Lee at the show.

Rollins said, “He passed away a couple of years ago around this time and this is the first time I’ve been here with a microphone in my hand in this city to tell him how much I miss him and how much I love him.” (The arena erupts with Brodie chants) 

He added, “I just wanted to say tonight was for him, every time we are in Rochester, in my heart, that means we’re here for him. It’s Saturday, and you know what that means, so do your damn thing and sing my song.”

The Visionary and Lee majorly worked with each on two occasions in WWE. First, when The Sheild vs The Wyatt Family feud happened in 2014. The second time they worked together was as a team  during the Team Cena vs Team Authority feud in the same year.

Lee left WWE in 2019 after the company released him. He made a surprise debut in AEW as the leader of The Dark Order. Unfortunately, that run was cut short as he fell ill and took a hiatus. Sadly, he passed away on December 26, 2020, while being in contract with AEW. 

Upon his death, the entire wrestling fraternity, including WWE, telecasted tribute episodes for Lee. Many wrestlers shared their stories while working with Luke Harper on the independent scene, WWE and AEW.
