Jay Briscoe unfortunately passed away at the age of 38, leaving behind an unforgettable legacy.
AEW President Tony Khan announced his untimely passing through a tweet.
"Sadly, Jamin Pugh has passed away. Known to fans as Jay Briscoe, he was a star in ROH for over 20 years, from the first show until today. Jay and his brother Mark dominated ROH, reigning as champions to this day. We'll do whatever we can to support his family. Rest In Peace Jamin"
Titles held by the late legend
Alongside his brother Mark, Jay was the reigning ROH Tag Team Champion. The brothers defeated AEW faction FTR in a sensational Dog Collar match to capture the title for a record 13th time during the pay-per-view Final Battle.
They became dual champions after winning the ROH Tag Team Championship as the Briscoes were the House of Glory Tag Team Champions as well. A week after Final Battle, they put the HOG Tag Team Championship on the line.
In a Best Two Out Of Three Falls match, Mane Event consisting of Jay Lyon and Midas Black defeated The Briscoes to become the new champions. This was the last official match Jay Briscoe competed in before his tragic passing.
Apart from being a tag team specialist, Jay Briscoe was a wonderful singles wrestler as well. He competed in multiple matches against his brother Mark, which remain memorable to this day. Jay was also a 2-time ROH World Champion.
Naturally, the entire wrestling world is in mourning. We at Sportskeeda extend our condolences to Jay's (real name Jamin Pugh) family and friends during this difficult time.
