Luke Harper was also known as Brodie Lee in AEW. Cody Rhodes played a major role in bringing Brodie Lee to Tony Khan’s company. Rhodes was probably just as much heartbroken to learn about the untimely passing of Lee as his blood relatives. WWE even mentioned the name of the wrestling legend during Cody Rhodes’ entrance.

Words cant express how special @CodyRhodes is to us.
He made Brodie safe on the worst day of his life.
I can never ever repay his love or friendship”.
Cody Rhodes’ mom, sister, wife, and daughter were also by the ringside rooting for the hero of their family.
Cody Rhodes came very close to defeating Roman Reigns
After dishing out multiple Cross Rhodes, Rhodes was on the verge of defeating The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. However, a distraction from Paul Heyman allowed Solo Sikoa to deliver the Samoan Spike while Cody Rhodes had his focus on Roman.
The Samoan Spike was followed by a thunderous spear that shattered the American dream of Cody Rhodes. Roman Reigns is still the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. As of today, Roman has held the Universal Championship for 945 days and counting.
