This was an incredibly kind decision by CM Punk which will also be very beneficial for Brodie Lee’s family. Lee is survived by his wife Amanda and his two children Brodie Lee Jr. and Nolan.

Lee was a loving husband and an absolute model father to his children. He will be remembered for being not just an incredible wrestler but also the perfect family man.

Brodie Lee died at 41, and his wife Amanda revealed the cause of death to be a non-COVID related lung disease. It was this health issue that caused him to take time off after his brutal dog collar match against Cody. That was his last match ever, and it certainly lived up to the illustrious legacy of Lee.

Punk’s contribution was one of the most genuine and kind gestures that a pro wrestler has ever done. It is testament to the fact that wrestlers are absolutely not like the characters they play in the ring.

We can say the same for Brodie Lee. He played a sadistic mercenary who led a spooky cult in AEW but was one of the nicest guys outside the ring.

Many Superstars shared text message conversations with him including Mustafa Ali and Cash Wheeler.

The out-pour of good wishes for Lee’s family is heartwarming. It is moments like these that make us forget the fragmented world of wrestling, and we view it as one large community.
