Following the poignant graphic, WWE champion Drew McIntyre also paid tribute in his opening promotion. “It’s Monday, you know what that means,” said McIntyre to open RAW. After using Harper’s Twitter catchphrase, he said his other well-known “yes, yes, yes” mantra.

Certainly there will be more nods to Harper (real name Jon Huber) during the night, as it is clear that he touched everyone’s hearts behind the scenes. At just 41, Harper died of a lung problem unrelated to COVID. He had fought in All Elite Wrestling as Brodie Lee.
