While last night’s Raw saw WWE and several superstars pay tribute to Jon Huber, the New Day followed their Raw appearance up with an emotional showing of love and respect for Huber on Raw Talk.

Xavier Woods first reiterated how special a person Jon Huber was, referencing how important he was to so many people in WWE and how he impacted the lives of his fellow wrestlers, the backstage crew, the catering staff, and all wrestling fans that the former Luke Harper met. As Woods was comforted by R-Truth, Kofi Kingston similarly paid his own respects to a man who the New Day shared the ring with many a time.

Earlier on Raw, Woods had paid tribute to Huber by wearing a “Brodie” armband, performing the one-time Intercontinental Champion’s patented discus clothesline, and mimicked certain traits of Huber’s on-screen personas of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.

The New Day weren’t the only ones paying tribute to Jon Huber on last night’s Raw, with Drew McIntyre, Ricochet, Alexa Bliss and Todd Phillips amongst those acknowledging their former colleague and friend. Additionally, WWE opened Raw with an “in memory” graphic for Jon.
