Amanda Huber shares heartfelt comments on Cody Rhodes, Tony Khan, others
AEW’s Amanda Huber recently posted heartfelt comments regarding Tony Khan, Cody Rhodes, Eric Rowan, Tay Melo and Maxwell Jacob Friedman.
December 26 was the five-year anniversary of Amanda’s husband, Jon Huber aka Brodie Lee/Luke Harper’s passing. Amanda Huber noted on social media that she had never seen the tribute show AEW put on after Brodie Lee’s passing, but decided to do so on Friday.
She wrote that seeing Rowan on the tribute show was an amazing surprise.
“Seeing @ErickRedBeard at the tribute show was the most amazing surprise and completely unexpected. I didn’t know he was there until I walked into the trailer. Forever thankful that he was a part of the show.”
Huber said that backstage at the tribute show, MJF stayed in character when interacting with her children. MJF then continued to do so on social media after her post.
“As much as a piece of shit @The_MJF is, I’ll never forget the tribute show.
He was his terrible self to Brodie all day. When everyone else was extra nice, Max stayed horrible.
Why?
Because Max knew how much Brodie loved wrestling. He knew he needed that escape. That ability to enjoy the thing he loved more than anything in the world.
It also made it extra gratifying when Brodie finally hit him 💜”
MJF responded to Huber with, “Second that kid turns 18 he’s FUCKED.”
Huber also posted about Tay Melo’s connection with Brodie Jr. and that Melo is now a mother herself.
“The tribute show is where our connection with @taymelo started and I’m so thankful for the road our relationship has taken. From her connecting with Brodie to seeing her become the most amazing mom possible.
Beyond thankful for her 💜”
To Cody Rhodes, Huber wrote:
“I’ll never be able to put into words how much I appreciate Cody. He drove 6 hours the day after Christmas to be there when I told Brodie. He was own of the few people who got to see Jon. He took Brodie to fly kites as I said goodbye. He promised to show up for our family and he’s stood by it. He goes out of his way to always be good to my family. His bond with Brodie is so incredibly special. He’s the perfect example for the boys. He’s passionate, hard working, and loyal. He shows up for his people, not just when it’s convenient for him. He’s someone I’m lucky to call our friend. I’m beyond thankful for his friendship and bringing the Hubers into the Rhodes family.”
After finishing the tribute show, Huber sent a message to Tony Khan:
“Thank you @TonyKhan for putting on the most beautiful pro wrestling show I’ve ever watched.
It’s taken me 5 years to watch this but it’s been worth it.
In the 5 years Jon has been gone I’ve been lucky enough to be in the @AEW family. Getting to travel with this amazing company and work for someone like Tony. Someone so passionate about wrestling but also so thoughtful. The care and love he puts into AEW everyday is never lost on me. I can’t say enough good and how incredible it is. It’s been such a wild road the last 5 years. The highs and lows and the twists and turns. I’m thankful for it all. Especially how beautiful it is that I get to work in a business I’ve dreamed of being in my whole life.
Tune in to World’s End tomorrow and support this beautiful crazy world of pro wrestling 💛🖤
Ok. I’m going to finish crying and get to sleep.
Thank you everyone for all the love, kind words, and messages today. 💜🖤”
