CM Punk to donate merchandise sales to Brodie Lee’s family following AEW and ex-WWE star’s tragic death
CM PUNK has made the heartwarming gesture to donate a month's worth of merchandise sales to Jon Huber's family.
AEW star Huber, better known as Brodie Lee, sadly passed away on Boxing Day due to a 'non-Covid related lung issue'.
The 41-year-old's death has led to an outbreak of mourning from his former WWE colleagues where he spent seven years as Luke Harper.
For most of his career working under Vince McMahon, Huber was known for his association with the Wyatt Family.
And in 2014, he had several matches feuding with CM Punk - who has since responded with an act of kindness following the wrestler's passing.
The wrestling merchandise retailer announced the ex-UFC star - real name Phil Brooks - would donate money to support Huber's family.
A statement said: “CM Punk has informed us that all proceeds from any of his merch sales for the next month will be donated to Brodie Lee's family. Thank you @CMPunk.”
And fans were bowled over by the gesture, with one tweeting: "Very nice and thoughtful."
Another said: "CM Punk is a wonderful human being."
A third added: "Awesome of you to do Punk. Just placed an order."
