After the match, Rhodes paid tribute to the late professional wrestler Luke Harper, also known as Brodie Lee.

Huber praised Rhodes as a true friend who has always stood by their family and welcomed them into the Rhodes family.
The tribute from Cody Rhodes and the kind words from Amanda Huber underscore the close relationships within the wrestling community and the lasting impact of Brodie Lee’s legacy.
