Jon Moxley

AEW paid tribute to Brodie Lee (real name Jon Huber) with a Celebration of Life during Wednesday's edition of Dynamite.

The show began with the roster presented alongside the family of Lee. AEW ring announcer Justin Roberts served as emcee as the promotion honored Lee with a 10-bell salute:

AEW superstar Jon Moxley offered a touching tribute to a man he knew and worked with for over a decade:

AEW TNT champion Darby Allin said a few words as well, noting Lee's humility and willingness to share his knowledge with younger wrestlers:

Lance Archer also paid tribute to Lee's former WWE persona, Luke Harper, with the garb he wore for his six-man tag team match:

Numerous AEW personalities mentioned how much being a husband to his wife Amanda and father to his two children, Brodie and Nolan, meant to Lee, and AEW posted a montage of images featuring the Hubers together:

Brodie Lee died at the age of 41 on Saturday from a non-COVID-19-related lung issue.

An outpouring of support and remembrances have occurred since the news of his death, with AEW paying tribute all show long on Wednesday.

Kenny Omega defeated Jon Moxley on Wednesday night's Winter Is Coming edition of Dynamite to win the AEW World Championship for the first time.

Omega won when Impact Wrestling executive and longtime friend Don Callis slid him a microphone, which The Cleaner then used to hit Moxley over the head and then hit him with four V Triggers and a One-Winged Angel for the victory. Omega and Callis sprinted to a waiting car after the match, saying to watch Impact on Tuesday for answers on their actions. 

With the win, Omega ended Moxley's nine-month reign and became the third wrestler to hold the AEW world title.

After a long reign as one half of the AEW tag team champions with "Hangman" Adam Page ended at the hands of FTR at All Out in September, Omega shifted his focus toward returning to singles competition and challenging for the AEW world title.

He was placed in a tournament to name the No. 1 contender and was highly impressive throughout. After decimating Sonny Kiss in the first round and then beating Penta El Zero M in the semifinals, he faced his former tag team partner in the finals.

At Full Gear, Omega outlasted Page to win the tournament and earn the distinction of No. 1 contender to Moxley and the AEW World Championship.

Omega has displayed a noticeable level of cockiness ever since breaking away from Page, and it reached another level in the weeks following his tournament win.

In addition to completely altering his appearance by wearing designer suits, Omega also began speaking much differently, as he boisterously declared he was still the same "Best Bout Machine" he was during his days in New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

Prior to their contract signing on Nov. 18, Moxley was attacked backstage and unable to take part. Omega proceeded to run down his rival on the mic by accusing him of trying to get out of the match.

The next week, Moxley attacked Omega and took him out with a DDT onto the AEW World Championship. Mox accused Omega of hiring someone to attack him before signing the contract and promised to take the fight to his rival.

Wednesday marked only the second-ever singles meeting between the two men, after they previously wrestled at Full Gear last year. Moxley won that bout, but that was much different since it was unsanctioned and didn't count against either of their records.

Their match on Dynamite had everything riding on it, and with Omega coming through and winning the AEW world title, he proved he is still capable of being the same performer he was in Japan.

At AEW Full Gear, Darby Allin defeated Cody Rhodes for the TNT Championship to win his first major singles title and become one of the faces of All Elite Wrestling. 

He is only the third person to hold the belt since its inception after Rhodes and Brodie Lee, making him one of a handful of people who has held singles gold in AEW. 

Allin spoke with Bleacher Report to talk about beating Rhodes for the TNT Championship, his filmmaking aspirations and much more.

Cody Rhodes has only lost a few matches since AEW was formed, so beating him made Darby Allin a member of a very exclusive club. 

During the buildup to the showdown, Rhodes said Allin couldn't be the face of AEW because he wasn't, as Rhodes called him, the ace of AEW.

We asked Allin how it felt to beat The American Nightmare at the Full Gear pay-per-view on Nov. 7.

"It's the best feeling in my whole damn career," he said. "There's a lot going into it that made that match special. Even without the championship, just to beat Cody was a big milestone. The beauty of winning the TNT Championship is I did it as myself. I didn't have to change anything. I can look at myself in the mirror and know I was the same dude coming in as going out."

While the TV audience still tunes in every week, AEW has been affected by the pandemic just like every other sport and form of entertainment. Live crowds have only come back in a limited capacity, but Allin is no stranger to working in front of small audiences.

"I'm used to wrestling in front of small crowds of like five people so I am fine with it," he said. 

One of the unique aspects of Allin's character is his lack of promos. Instead of talking about what he is going to do, he expresses his thoughts through short videos he produces himself. 

"It's just me and my friend, Max Yoder," Allin said. "He films for Thrasher magazine, and sometimes we don't know what we are going to do until the day, and I think it adds to the beauty of it all."

In AEW, Superstars appear to have a lot more creative control over their characters and that has allowed Allin to use his unique vision in his videos.

"Half the time, those videos you see on TV won't be seen by anyone beforehand except maybe Tony Khan. I just make it and send it to him and we air it. There aren't a lot of hoops to jump through. He trusts me to go out there and get something weird," Allin said. "There's a lot of people who talk in wrestling about how they are fearless. I don't like to talk. I like to show people those videos. I can show them me jumping off an 80-foot bridge, so I don't have to convince them that I'm crazy."

Some of his videos have been vague and mysterious but others have included celebrities such as Steve-O and Tony Hawk. Interestingly, the videos with the famed skateboarder almost didn't happen.

"The whole backstory to [the videos] was insane," Allin recalled. "The day before we filmed, [Hawk] was skating in a pool and broke his fingers and we thought that the shoot was going to be off but I already drove six hours to San Diego.

"His assistant calls and says he's not going to be able to make it, so I ended up just trying to drop in off that ladder and I was eating total crap every time. Then his assistant said Tony was actually going to be able to make it and luckily I landed it right when he got there. I set all this stuff up myself with Tony Hawk and Steve-O. It's cool to be able to do that and make stuff happen."

Filmmaking isn't the only medium Allin wants to explore, though.

"I would like to do modeling, acting, the list goes on," he said. "Anything with art. I paint all the time. There is so much I want to do. I don't want to just be known as a wrestler."

Allin wrestles a risk-taking style. He performs maneuvers most would never think of attempting. It's the same style that got him noticed in Evolve Wrestling, and he has not changed anything for the television audience.

"I have not had to adjust anything. I have been wrestling this style on the independents for years," he said. "The only problem with the independents is the fans just want to see move after move and there is no time for storytelling. 

"I like fighting Jon Moxley because it feels like a real, intense fight. I feel like we get lost in the moment in the ring. I like other young guys like Sammy [Guevara] and Ricky [Starks] because we have a lot in common trying to prove we deserve that main event spot."

All Elite Wrestling star Jon Moxley and former WWE announcer Renee Young are expecting their first child.

Now going by her real name, Renee Paquette announced the news Thursday on Instagram.

Moxley and Paquette met while working together in WWE, and they were married in April 2017.

WWE announced in January 2019 that Dean Ambrose, his name while wrestling for the promotion, was leaving after he declined its most recent contract offer. Moxley made his AEW debut at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view that May.

Paquette continued working with WWE before leaving in August. She later told Sports Illustrated's Jimmy Traina she was "bothered" with how the company initially reacted upon her public announcement that she had tested positive for COVID-19.
