AEW has mocked WWE several times on Live TV over the past few years
#3. Brodie Lee mocks WWE Chairman Vince McMahon with new AEW gimmick
Ad
Luke Harper (Mr. Brodie Lee) in AEW) was destined for great things in WWE after splitting from The Wyatt Family, but after years of being overlooked, he requested his WWE release.
After Harper's release was granted by WWE at the end of 2019, he made the move over to AEW. The character appeared to be a parody of Vince McMahon and would take several shots at the WWE chairman as part of backstage segments.
One of the most famous shots came when The Exalted One sat down with The Dark Order and told them they were going to take over AEW. As part of this meeting, Alex Reynolds sneezed whilst Lee was eating and was then banished.
This is a shot at Vince McMahon since there were rumors that the Chairman didn't like any of his employees sneezing in his presence. This wasn't the only time Brodie Lee mocked his former employers since his first AEW promo subtly called out McMahon for not believing in him.
