Taking to Twitter, FTR's Dax Harwood revealed that the Goodnight Express move that has seen off so many tag teams will now be known as Big Rig. During their time in WWE, of course, that signature spot was known as the Midnight Hour.

Dax stated how this decision was made after speaking to Brodie’s wife Amanda, and this will be FTR’s way of “keeping a bit of [Brodie's] legacy alive in professional wrestling”.

The Goodnight Express is the second move to be renamed in honour of Brodie Lee, with Natalya previously announcing plans to change the name of her Nattie By Nature spinning clothesline/discus lariat in tribute of Brodie.

After a two-month battle with a non-COVID 19-related lung issue, Jon Huber passed away at 26 December at the tragically young age of just 41.
