Sami Zayn, Jey Uso & Braun Strowman honor Bray Wyatt, Brodie Lee after WWE SmackDown
Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, and Braun Strowman paid tribute to the families of Bray Wyatt and Brodie Lee following WWE SmackDown last night.
After the show went off the air, the three babyfaces brought Wyatt’s son Knash and Lee’s sons Brodie (aka Negative One) and Nolan into the ring. The night ended with them leading the Tampa crowd in “Yeet” chants.
Strowman noted that JoJo Offerman and Wyatt’s son and daughter were in attendance before carrying Knash with him into the ring.
Strowman said:
“This is my godson, Knash, and his beautiful sister, Hyrie, over there, and JoJo (Offerman), the whole family. I want to say thank y’all for the continued love and support for my family outside of here with this. I’ve had an unbelievably rough couple of last years, and I thought my career was over with my neck injury. I’ve lost two of my best friends in this industry in the last four years. And what keeps me moving and doing this every night are these kids, and every single one of y’all give me the strength to push through this unbelievable pain that I’m in, because I freaking love them. I love them, and I love every single one of y’all. I wish you many, many blessings in 2025!”
Jey Uso invited Brodie Lee’s sons into the ring, encouraging them to hop the rail.
“Hey, you can hop the gate. I know you. You hop the gate. Come up in here,” Uso can be heard saying to the boys.
“It’s the Wyatt family for real. It’s the next Bloodline, for real,” he continued as they entered the ring.
The show took place four years and one day after Lee’s passing due to Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis on December 26, 2020. Seth Rollins also paid tribute to Lee recently at Thursday’s WWE Madison Square Garden Live event on the anniversary of his passing.
