Original Plans For Brodie Lee’s AEW Debut

Fans all around the world are still mourning the passing of Brodie Lee, and his peers have been honoring him by sharing positive stories about the impact he had on their lives and the wrestling business as a whole.

Brodie Lee made his AEW debut back in March of 2020, and he debuted in a big way when he was revealed to be the leader of The Dark Order.

Back in 2000 Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn jumped ship from WCW to WWE, and they were known as The Radicalz. During a recent episode of Talk Is Jericho Dax Harwood of FTR revealed that originally they wanted to form a new version of The Radicalz with Brodie Lee.

“We had a group text with him, and he said, ‘I want us to be The Radicalz.’ Me, Cash and him, he wanted us to be The Radicalz. We had these big, grandiose plans to come in together.”

“Our contracts were coming up real soon, until some things happened,” Cash Wheeler added. “His plan and our plan was to be The Radicalz here.”

Harwood also added that Brodie Lee didn’t know he was set to become the leader of The Dark Order until it was pitched.

“But he didn’t know about The Dark Order stuff, until it was pitched.”
