On December 26, 2020, Jonathan Huber died at the age of 41 of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (initially revealed as a "non-COVID lung issue") at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida.

[10][11] Better known by his ring name "Mr. Brodie Lee", Huber debuted in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) as "The Exalted One" and the leader of The Dark Order on March 18, 2020.

[12][13] The March 18 episode of Dynamite was originally scheduled to take place at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York, Huber's hometown.

AEW storylines, at the time, were typically produced on the weekly television program, Dynamite, the supplementary online streaming show, Dark, and The Young Bucks' YouTube series Being The Elite.

[22] Throughout the show, there were segments with fellow AEW personnel Jon Moxley, Darby Allin, Dax Harwood, Arn Anderson, Colt Cabana, referee Bryce Remsburg, Eddie Kingston, Chris Jericho, Frankie Kazarian, Dustin Rhodes, Jerry Lynn, Christopher Daniels, Wardlow, and Matt Hardy sharing stories and their thoughts on Lee.

[27] To start their six-man tag team match, Adam Page, Alex Reynolds and John Silver used papers to hit their opponents, a tribute to Lee's Being The Elite segments.

"[29] The main event match featured Brodie Huber's favorites Cody Rhodes, Orange Cassidy, and The Dark Order's Preston "10" Vance teaming for one-night only against Team Taz (Brian Cage, Ricky Starks, and Powerhouse Hobbs) in what was billed as the "Brodie Lee Jr. Dream Match".

In the end, Vance hit Starks with a spinebuster for the pinfall, giving the win to his team, and making it a clean sweep for The Dark Order.

[35] During the show, Pro Wrestling Tees' Shop AEW store released a t-shirt in memory of Brodie Lee with all proceeds benefiting The Huber Family.

[38] The Brodie Lee Celebration of Life averaged 977,000 television viewers on TNT and a 0.40 rating in AEW's key demographic.
