After his passing, AEW did an incredible tribute show. Recently, his wife Amanda Huber spoke with Men’s Health defending the company against those who believe they exploited his death.

Huber notes within the interview that Brodie would not have been keen on his son, Brodie Lee Jr., starting wrestling so soon. However, BLJ states that he thinks his dad would be happy if he could see how happy wrestling makes him.

Amanda also adds that while Brodie may have “hated it”, deep down inside his heart he would be “over the moon” that BLJ was wrestling. She also addresses fans who felt as if AEW exploited Brodie Lee’s death.

She states she feels like they (AEW) didn’t exploit or take advantage of the family. She believes the company showed such “grace” and “kindness.

She goes on to say that she’s always felt like everything has been done with nothing but love in mind. Huber notes that people tend to be pessimistic and skeptical, assuming things are done with sinister intentions.

She also acknowledges that everybody may do things differently. However, she’s doing her best and trying.

Lastly, Amanda notes there’s a good chance she may screw something up along the way. Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect.
