In the days since Brodie Lee's death, Big E has taken to social media to serve up plentiful examples of just how great a person Brodie was.

While E has detailed matches, tours, live events and backstage antics, one particular post that gives a glimpse into Brodie's fun side was Big E reminiscing about how Brodie had a seemingly ongoing rivalry with the women of WWE.

The current Intercontinental Champion explained how Jon Huber's WWE tenure as Luke Harper saw him forever poking the bear when it came to the female talent of the promotion. As examples, E detailed how Brodie would mimic Dana Brooke's patented poses, how he would insist that Natalya stole his spinning lariat and Michinoku Driver, and how Brodie's time in AEW saw him suggest that Sonya Deville had copied his suited-up look.

In response to Big E's post, Natalya was quick to announce that going forward she'll be renaming said spinning lariat in Brodie Lee's honour - even though the one-time SmackDown Women's Champion has been using the move ever since she landed in WWE 13 years ago. Which again, only adds further brilliance to Brodie's claims that she stole the move from him.
