After his death, several of Jon Huber’s former WWE co-workers (Brodie Lee in AEW and Luke Harper in WWE) paid tribute to him in Monday’s episode of Raw.
Monday’s Raw opened with a Huber tribute chart. Throughout the night, Tom Phillips, Drew McIntyre, Alexa Bliss, Ricochet and Xavier Woods also paid tribute to Huber.
Phillips opened the program by saying “It’s Monday and you know what that means,” a reference to Huber’s daily Twitter posts. McIntyre also used that phrase during his promotion at the beginning of the show.
McIntyre and Bliss used “Yes, yes, yes”, which Huber would say during his time as Luke Harper in WWE.
Woods and Ricochet paid tribute to Huber by hitting discus lariats during their matches on tonight’s show. Woods also wore a “Brodie” armband.
On Raw Talk, Woods and Kofi Kingston talked about how important Huber was to them and everyone in the company. They also discussed how Huber was an incredible father to his two children. Woods asked everyone to remember Huber for the man he was, the legacy he left, and to keep Huber in his thoughts.
Huber died on December 26 after fighting a lung problem unrelated to COVID-19. Huber’s wife, Amanda, thanked the Mayo Clinic for the treatment of her husband, calling them “literally the best team of doctors and nurses in the world who surrounded me with constant love”.
AEW announced Wednesday’s Dynamite will be a tribute show to Brodie Lee. It will include some of Huber’s son Brodie’s favorite fighters (Cody Rhodes, Orange Cassidy and Preston “10” Vance) coming together for just one night in a six-man fight against Team Taz (Brian Cage, Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs).
