The latest episode of Monday Night RAW witnessed the in-ring debut of The Wyatt Sicks, during which Erick Rowan paid a touching tribute to the late Mr. Brodie Lee. The Exalted One was a part of the original Wyatt Family, alongside Rowan and Bray Wyatt.

The August 5, 2024, edition of RAW featured a six-person tag match pitting Chad Gable and The Creed Brothers against Joe Gacy, Dexter Lumis, and Erick Rowan of The Wyatt Sicks. At one point during the bout, Rowan delivered a devastating slingshot senton atomico on Gable.

Before hitting the move, the 42-year-old star made a reference to his former tag partner and stablemate, Brodie Lee, with one of the latter's signature taunts, "Yeah Yeah Yeah."

Rowan and Brodie Lee (who performed in WWE as Luke Harper) were long-time allies in the sports entertainment juggernaut and held the NXT and Smackdown Tag Team Championship together. After getting released in 2019, Lee joined AEW the following year, where he had a brief but dominant run until his tragic passing in December 2020.

Rowan, who was released by the Stamford-based company in April 2020, returned to the promotion earlier this year as a member of The Wyatt Sicks. Incidentally, before his WWE comeback, he also made multiple appearances in AEW in 2020 and 2022.
