Brodie Lee

Brodie Lee f.k.a. Luke Harper made his shift to All Elite Wrestling after the WWE release. He wasn’t happy with his role in the company and wanted to move out, but that wasn’t an easy task to accomplish. After repeated attempts, the superstar lost his place in line and had no hopes of moving out before the company came to the terms of his release.

The Exalted One had already filed for his independent circuit name Brodie Lee even before the aforementioned took place. He was a part of the rumor mill for weeks before he made his entry as The Exalted one because fans thought that Matt Hardy would make his entry in that role. It is similar to what The Undertaker thought at first because he envisioned himself as The Eggman. Instead, he made his presence felt like The Undertaker, and the character has become immortal ever since.

Brodie has become more powerful than ever before, and his role as the leader of The Dark Order puts him in a position where he commands his fellow faction members. It is a lifetime opportunity, because the superstar worked as a jobber in the WWE, but is a main-event player now in AEW.
