This week’s AEW Dynamite proved to be one of the most emotional nights of professional wrestling in recent memory. As a celebration of Brodie Lee’s life, the show saw members of the Dark Order win all five of their respective matches, various wrestlers give video tributes to the former TNT Champion and the show close with Brodie Lee Jr. being crowned TNT Champion for life in honor of his father. But Lee’s influence stretched far beyond just one company, as many of Lee’s former coworkers in WWE took to Twitter to praise the episode as they watched along.

Its in those times of losing one of the good ones we are reminded of how vast a family is. How big of a world yet small of a circle we truly travel in. When the love for one man can have a ripple effect. A coming together across the divide. You know you did it right #RIPBrodieLee
