“We would like to send out our condolences to the family of Jay Briscoe. Jay passed away suddenly earlier this week. He and his brother Mark formed one of wrestling’s great tag teams, and many in WWE are paying their respects and sending their condolences.”

After Briscoe’s death on Tuesday, Booker T also offered condolences during this week’s episode of WWE NXT.
A funeral segment planned for NXT that would have featured The New Day was immediately scrapped after knowledge of Briscoe’s death went public.
AEW/ROH held a tribute show to Briscoe this week though Warner Bros. Discovery prevented the show from being aired on TV.
