AEW Dynamite (December 30, 2020) was just the celebration of the life of Brodie Lee. Fallout features more tribute videos, Tony Khan makes a great gesture in buying music rights, as well as other goodies.
Dynamics offered several personal tributes throughout. AEW posted some extra tributes. Frankie Kazarian, Dustin Rhodes, Jerry Lynn and Christopher Daniels shared stories that illustrate Brodie’s sincere care for his fellow wrestlers. In particular, Kaz was touched when Brodie broke the second rope and thought about warning Kaz for his safety.
Wardlow said Brodie is a perfect example of how the scariest men in professional wrestling are often the friendliest. Wardlow also told how Brodie appreciates the TNT championship.
In the after-show with Tony Schiavone (here), Lance Archer, Cody Rhodes, dr. Britt Baker DMD, Jess Palombo and Anna Jay shared stories about Brodie. Cody told a story about how Brodie often joked about buying lunch for the boys when it actually took care of it.
To accompany Cody’s story, the photo of Brodie chewing on Zaxby’s was shared. You might have to click on the tweet to see Brodie’s comic expression.
Dynamics concluded with an excellent video montage for Brodie on the tune of ‘Ol’ ’55 ‘by Tom Waits.
In a very cool gesture, Tony Khan acquired the music rights so that the tribute can live on forever.
Thank you to everyone who joined us tonight #AEWDynamiet around the life of Jon Huber, who fans are known as mr. Brodie Lee, to celebrate. It was a great honor to host his family Amanda, Brodie & Nolan. I bought the rights to Ol ’55 by Tom Waits forever so that tribute will last forever

We conclude with the AEW Dark standing in a row. The Tuesday show will be hot with 16 games. Frankie Kazarian vs. Griff Garrison vs. Angelico vs. Darius Martin is the main issue. All respective markers will be on the side of the link.
Three other matches caught my eye. Fenix versus Aaron Solow should fluctuate. One wrestler achieves his first victory in Fuego del Sol against Danny Limelight. It is possible that Fuego may eventually hit a tornado DDT for a win (a recurring gag in Sammy Guevara’s vlog), but it’s more likely that Limelight’s series of entertaining matches earned him a promotion in the pay window. For NWA fans, Ashley Vox will be fighting Thunder Rosa.
