#2: Erick Redbeard, fka Erick Rowan, debuted on AEW Dynamite and paid tribute to his Wyatt family comrade

Erick Redbeard appeared on AEW Dynamite for the first time in his pro wrestling career during Dark Order and Hangman Page's match against The Inner Circle.

The bout got out of hand when Wardlow appeared on AEW Dynamite and took out Alex Reynolds with a clothesline. This is when Erick Redbeard showed up to eliminate Wardlow from the equation by delivering a big claw chokeslam to MJF's bodyguard.

Erick Redbeard and Wardlow took their brawl backstage as the match continued inside the ring. After Dark Order and Hangman Page picked up a victory, an emotional Redbeard came out to celebrate this victory while also holding up a sign that read: 'Goodbye, for now, my brother. See you down the road.'

The same person who has been portrayed as a monstrous giant for most of his WWE career couldn't hold back his true emotions in this scenario. After all, The Wyatt family played a huge role in Erick Redbeard and Brodie Lee's careers, and both of them even teamed-up as The Bludgeon Brothers back in WWE.

Erick Redbeard's arrival in AEW, as well as Brodie Jr.'s role in the aforementioned six-man tag team bout, made it one of the best memorial pro wrestling matches that fans have seen in a while.
