All Elite Wrestling star Chris Jericho welcomed AEW's newest signee Brodie Lee on the latest edition of his 'Talk Is Jericho" podcast. The Exalted One revealed a bunch of interesting tidbits surrounding his WWE release, that was granted on December 8, 2019.

Lee also shed light on his brief return and reformation of The Bludgeon Brothers, last year. According to Lee, Daniel Bryan was responsible for his return to the ring.

So Bryan calls me, and says, 'Hey man, how are you feeling right now?' He then says, 'Do you wanna come back to work?' I was like, 'With who?' He says, 'With me', and I said 'Yeah'. So, Bryan is one of the people in the business I respect more than anybody. They kind of built this story of who attacked Roman, and it ended up being Rowan.

Lee and Rowan reformed The Bludgeon Brothers, but the reunion didn't last long. Lee said that the two were separated in the 2019 Draft without them having any idea about it.

After it was revealed that Rowan was Roman Reigns' mystery attacker, he faced The Big Dog at Clash of Champions. Rowan picked up a huge win over Reigns, thanks to a returning Lee. The duo lost to Reigns and Bryan at Hell In A Cell, soon after which the 2019 Draft led to the team getting disbanded.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
