It has been a little over a year since the pro wrestling world lost the beloved wrestler Brodie Lee. AEW President, Tony Khan recently spoke about the late wrestler and gave his favorite memory of him.

Tony Khan sat down with Sports Illustrated to talk about many different topics but one that was brought up recently was Brodie Lee. The AEW president was asked about his favorite memory of him.

“I have a lot of memories of Brodie Lee that I really cherish. At the beginning of the pandemic, the very first pandemic show was his debut in AEW. That was the first time Brodie appeared. He had no fans ringside when he had his first match at Daily’s Place, so it was a strange time. He became such a leader for us, and we really got to know each other when there weren’t many other people around. I ended up reaching out to Jon Moxley and saying it should be him and Brodie for the title at Double or Nothing.

“Mox loved the idea,” the AEW President continued. “We didn’t have a ton of time, only a few weeks, but we built to Mox and Brodie. We had a three-way call to talk ideas, and that was really a lot of fun. Then we made him TNT champion over the summer, and it was a great run. But I’ll really always remember that period during the pandemic when we really got to know each other.”

AEW fans will look back fondly at Brodie Lee and his short time in the promotion. Tony Khan certainly will have some positive memories from their time together.
