Tyson Kidd posted, "Just watched Wyatt's vs Uso's from Battleground 2014 here in Tampa. I remembered this match being great, I was wrong. It was a masterpiece!! #RipBrodieLee."

"My Twitter and Instagram feeds are filled with memories and photos of this man. Jon Huber meant so much to everyone that knew him, including my husband. Jon was a devoted husband and proud father. Sending so much love to his family and friends!! #RIPBrodieLee #RIPJonHuber," tweeted Maria Kanellis.

Carmella wrote, "I don't have the words.. I can't believe it. He always made me laugh so much... heartbroken for his family."

WWE Intercontinental Champion Big E posted, "Brodie cried with me when I cried after George Floyd was killed. He & his incredible wife bought @emiliosparks new podcasting equipment because they believed in his dream. He'd text & call people he barely knew when he heard they were sick or grieving. His kindness was boundless."

NXT commentator and former Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett wrote, "What a horrible day. I'm thinking of his family – Jon was a very good man and was loved by the locker room. #RipBrodieLee."

"One of my first 'dark match' main-events after Smackdown TV in 2016. I was so pumped to get to be an honorary Wyatt Family member for the night and to get to team with those guys. A fan tagged me in this picture after the show and I made sure to save it. I'm really glad I did," Kevin Owens posted.
