Big E, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston of The New Day reunited backstage during the Royal Rumble on Sunday, showing off their special Luke Haper/Brodie Lee-themed matching ring gear. The gear featured the red flanel look Harper often used during his days in the Wyatt family, and the trunks featured Lee’s likeness from his days as “The Exalted One” in AEW. The three were incredibly close with Jon Huber, and have paid tribute to the former Intercontinental Champion numerous times following his tragic passing last month.
