Cody Rhodes has reacted to the unfortunate passing of Jay Briscoe and sent out a heartfelt message to his entire family.

A few hours ago, Tony Khan announced the heartbreaking news of Jay Briscoe (aka Jamin Pugh) passing away in a car accident at the age of 38.

Jay was part of the iconic tag team The Briscoe Brothers with his sibling, Mark Briscoe, who had been successful in several promotions such as CZW, NJPW, and now ROH. The two brothers came in to dominate Ring of Honor, starting an epic rivalry with FTR and eventually becoming ROH tag team champions.

The deeply saddening news came as a shock to every fan who had followed the journey and rise of the Briscoe Brothers. Current WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes sent out his words of kindness, recalling in his interactions with Jay, he understood that his family was his everything.

"I didn’t interact much with him, but upon meeting Jay I instantly understood something about him…his family was his everything. All the love in the world to them this evening," Cody Rhodes tweeted.

It's a deeply tragic day for every wrestling fan who was familiar with them as they made a big name for their brawling style of matches in many indie promotions. WWE fans hadn't gotten to know much about Jay and Mark Briscoe, but AEW fans were treated to their presence during their few matches with FTR.
