VIDEO: Being The Elite – Brodie Lee tribute

Video —

The entirety of this week’s Being The Elite was a tribute to Brodie Lee. 

Matt Jackson introduced the show with a brief dedication to Lee. 

The remainder of the episode featured clips from Brodie’s appearances on Being The Elite, including comedic outtakes from his appearances on the show. 

The footage was interspersed with testimonials from Alex Reynolds, John Silver, Alan Angels and Preston Vance. 

“Everyone says laughter is contagious. This guy’s laugh was the most contagious thing I’ve ever been around,” said Vance. “He has done more for me than I could ever imagine someone doing. 

“Even though it was only a short time I knew him, I’m very grateful for the time that I did know Brodie Lee,” Angels said. 

“Brodie was the best. He was the funniest. He was the man. I’m going to miss him so much,” said Silver. 

“I love you and I’m going to miss you,” Reynolds said. 

Mr. Brodie Lee TNT title celebration announced for AEW Dynamite

Mr. Brodie Lee will celebrate his TNT title victory on Dynamite this Thursday.

AEW’s social media confirmed the segment this afternoon. It comes as Lee squashed Cody to win the championship on Dynamite this past Saturday, ending Cody’s 91 day reign with the championship.

The squash was brutal enough that Cody had to be stretchered out after the match. The rest of the Dark Order, however, blocked the medics from taking Cody to the backstage area. The show ended with the Dark Order taking out Cody, Arn Anderson, and the rest of the Nightmare Family, with Lee dumping remnants of the old TNT title on Cody.

Already announced for next week’s Dynamite include Matt Hardy vs. Sammy Guevara, a tag team gauntlet match featuring The Natural Nightmares, Young Bucks, Best Friends, and FTR with the winners getting a AEW Tag Team title shot at All Out, Big Swole vs. Britt Baker, Rebel, and Penelope Ford in a handicap match, and a contract signing between MJF and Jon Moxley for their match at All Out.

Due to the NBA playoffs, Dynamite won’t air in its normal timeslot this week. Instead, it will air the following day, Thursday, at 8 p.m. EST.

Mr. Brodie Lee wins TNT title on AEW Dynamite

Mr. Brodie Lee is the new AEW TNT champion.

Lee defeated Cody on tonight’s episode of Dynamite, pinning him with a discus lariat in a short match. Lee cut a promo putting over himself and the Dark Order as medics came to stretcher out Cody, who hadn’t moved since being pinned. Lee said that with the TNT title, he now had all of the power in AEW.

As Cody was being stretchered out on the ramp, he gave a thumbs up signal to say he was okay. The Dark Order then intercepted the medics, blocking their path to the backstage area. Arn Anderson, Cody’s manager, decided to fight back, but was quickly taken out.

The rest of the Dark Order arrived, dragging QT Marshall and Dustin Rhodes out on stage. Lee laid out Cody with a loaded stachel. Brandi Rhodes came out to shield her husband from any further attack, but Anna Jay of the Dark Order choked her out.

The show ended with Lee dumping out the contents of the satchel, which was revealed to be the remnants of the old TNT championship.

Cody, the first TNT champion, had held the championship for 91 days, defeating Lance Archer in a tournament final to become the first champion back at Double or Nothing on May 23.
