You never know who might show up on AEW Dynamite on TNT, and last week’s episode of Dynamite featured two big debuts.
Matt Hardy debuted, and after months of hype Brodie Lee, formerly known as Luke Harper in WWE, was revealed to be The Exalted One.
As The Exalted One was being introduced, he took a shot at Vince McMahon in a video package when he addressed Christopher Daniels and said, “Mr. Daniels, I assure you, you are not the first out-of-touch old man to not believe in me.”
This week Brodie Lee appeared in a vignette dressed in a suit similar to something Vince McMahon would wear, and he was shown eating steak in a dark room in front of Dark Order members John Silver and Alex Reynolds.
Lee berated both members of the Dark Order, and he kicked Silver out of the room for trying to eat his meal before Lee had finished his.
Reynolds then sneezed and Brodie Lee made a big deal about it and kicked him out as well.
Vince McMahon is known for hating sneezing, to the point where his own daughter Stephanie McMahon has tried to explain why the Chairman of the Board hates sneezing so much.
Brodie Lee went on to defeat QT Marshall in his in-ring debut for AEW.
The backstage vignette can be seen below.
