WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H paid tribute to ROH legend Jay Briscoe (real-life Jamin Pugh) following his untimely passing.
Earlier today, AEW President and ROH owner Tony Khan took to Twitter to share the tragic news. He sent his condolences to Briscoe's family at this difficult time.
Jay Briscoe held the ROH Tag Team Championship 13 times with his brother Mark Briscoe during his two-decade-long association with the promotion. The duo last defeated FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) at Final Battle in December 2022 to regain their prized possessions. The duo were also associated with IMPACT Wrestling, NJPW, and GCW, among other promotions.
Upon news coming to the fore, Triple H took to Twitter to share a heartfelt message acknowledging Jay Briscoe's contributions to the wrestling industry and sent his condolences to his family.
"An incredible performer who created a deep connection with wrestling fans across the globe. My condolences to the family and friends of Jay Briscoe," tweeted The Game.
