Stamford, December 27 - Seth Rollins, the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion, paid a moving tribute to his late friends Jon Huber, widely known as Brodie Lee, and Windham Rotunda, famously recognized as Bray Wyatt, during WWE's live event at Madison Square Garden on December 26.

Since the unfortunate passings of Huber in 2020 and Rotunda in 2023, Rollins has consistently honored their memory on various platforms. However, the recent WWE Live Holiday Tour event provided a special opportunity for Rollins to express his feelings and commemorate the lives of his departed comrades.

The main event of the evening saw Rollins successfully defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against the formidable Drew McIntyre. Following the intense matchup, Rollins took a moment to address the electrified crowd at Madison Square Garden.

"We are packed from the front row to the nosebleeds in the most famous arena in the world. Thank you, Madison Square Garden. There’s just one more thing I gotta do tonight," Rollins began, setting the stage for an emotional tribute.

Rollins, visibly moved, acknowledged the significance of the date, the twenty-sixth of December, marking the anniversary of Brodie Lee's passing. "A few years back, my good friend, our good friend Brodie Lee passed away. I miss him. Just a few months ago, we lost Windham Rotunda as well," he shared with the crowd.

However, Rollins' tone shifted as he recounted a touching moment from earlier in the night. "But earlier tonight, when the lights went down, I saw some fireflies out there in the Garden. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man," Rollins revealed, referring to the iconic firefly imagery associated with Bray Wyatt's character.

Seizing the opportunity to create an unforgettable moment, Rollins declared, "So look, here’s the deal. They’re kicking me out of here; we got a curfew. But I’m not leaving this building until you guys light this place up with those fireflies and you sing my damn song so loud Brodie and Windham can hear you, baby. Let’s go, New York. I love you forever."

The crowd responded with an outpouring of support, illuminating the arena with the symbolic firefly lights and joining in a collective rendition of Rollins' entrance theme. The emotional resonance of the moment was palpable, creating a powerful connection between Rollins, the fans, and the cherished memories of Brodie Lee and Bray Wyatt.

Later, Rollins took to social media to reflect on the heartfelt tribute, sharing a message that echoed the sentiments expressed in the ring. The post garnered widespread attention and support from fans and fellow wrestlers alike, further solidifying the profound impact of Rollins' tribute to his late friends.
