Kofi Kingston And Xavier Woods Pay Heartfelt Tribute To Brodie Lee
This week’s episode of Monday Night RAW started with a graphic of Brodie Lee, honoring his memory. The Superstars paid tribute to him throughout the show.
The New Day spoke on RAW Talk following RAW. They talked about dear friend Brodie Lee, revealing just how much he meant to them.
Xavier Woods first spoke about Lee, where he said the following:
“If you never got the pleasure of meeting him, he was a fantastic human who did so much for this industry. The lives that he touched and the way he made people feel… whether you were a wrestler, whether you worked on the crew, whether you were in catering, whether you were a fan. He is someone who isn’t just extremely important to me, but extremely important to everyone in this company, and we just really are gonna miss him, a lot. So, we love you, and we wish we could see you.”
Kingston then said his piece, where he mentioned all the numerous tributes on social media and just how great of a father Brodie Lee was.
“You’ve seen all the posts online on social media – he was an amazing father, it was one of the most admirable traits about him. We had so many stories back and forth about our kids because they’re kind of cut from the same cloth, we got a couple of wild boys. You know? So every WrestleMania they would always get together, they called themselves The New Day Kids, you know, and they just… it was just an amazing feeling to share that bond with him. You know, like you said, we’ve been seeing all the posts on social media and just see how many lives he touched in the business, in the ring, but more importantly, outside of the ring with all the family stuff. Like Woods said, he’s going to be dearly missed, his presence is going to be missed, and yeah, it’s crazy. It’s crazy.”
Brodie Lee’s life will always be celebrated and he will be remembered as a great wrestler and even better father.
