5 things you may not know about former WWE star Luke Harper/Brodie Lee

#4 Brodie Lee was married and had two sons

Brodie Lee was part of the wrestling business for more than 17 years. But whilst he dedicated his life to becoming the best he could in the ring, the former Intercontinental Champion also provided for his family throughout his career.

Lee married his wife Amanda back in 2008 and the couple has two sons together - Brodie and Nolan. In his appearance on The Talk is Jericho podcast back in 2015, Lee revealed that his wife loved the name Brodie, which was why the couple decided to name their first son after his original ring name.

"I didn't want to name him Brodie, but my wife was insistent that we do. I was like, 'ugh, I can't do that! I don't want to be a mark! We kind of made a deal if WWE hires me, I can't use the name ever again, [so] let's give it to [our son]."

Of course, WWE did hire Brodie Lee and he later became known as Luke Harper so that his son was free to use the name.
