Since Luke Harper passed away in December 2020, Rhodes has been like a pillar to back him. The entire AEW family and Rhodes gave a tribute to Lee on a special AEW show where Lee Jr. was presented with the red TNT title which his father held before passing away.

However, it would have been a much bigger feel good moment if Rhodes would’ve won the title. The 37-year-old came short of winning the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship due to the interference of Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa,

The match also saw Rhodes putting Reigns through a table and connecting a Pedigree.

The chase for the title will be on for some more time and the day will come when we will see Rhodes winning the title.
