WWE Stars Pay Tribute To Brodie Lee On SmackDown
Big E, Daniel Bryan and more paid homage to fallen friend Brodie Lee on SmackDown.
Numerous WWE stars paid their own respects to fallen friend Brodie Lee on last night's episode of SmackDown.
Big E, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro and Sasha Banks could all be seen sporting black armbands with "Brodie" printed across them. That show of support for Lee and his family was touching, and it was preceded by the same "In memory of" graphic that WWE had shown on Monday's Raw.
This entire week has been dedicated to Brodie's memory.
E also used a gator roll and shouted, "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" throughout both his singles and tag matches on the broadcast. During Daniel Bryan and Otis vs. Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura, Cesaro performed a decidedly Brodie-esque sidewalk slam, and Otis worked in a Lee-ish spinning lariat.
Stand in authority figure Adam Pearce dropped a quick, "You know what that means" backstage (his own homage to Brodie's constant, "It's *insert day*. You know what that means" tweets.
Big E showed some love for the rest of Lee's family too. After mentioning Brodie's cherished Toronto Maple Leafs, the IC Champ said, "I have fans coming up to me from Rome to Rochester. I had little Nolans and Amandas coming up to me.".
Brodie was from Rochester, his wife is called Amanda and his youngest son is named Nolan.
