I only have three people in my world that I consider to be extremely close to me. One of them, I’ve known for about two-and-half decades. My friend, his name is Lucilius King. I’ve known him since 1998. I found out a little while ago that he may have cancer. I dedicated this match to him and another buddy of mine named JD Griffey," Lee said. The AEW Tag Team Champion urged his friend to keep fighting: "This is a victory for you and a statement of my G*ddamned love. I will always be there. When I get to Texas, I swear to God, I will see you as soon as I can, my friend. Stay strong, fight like we’ve done. Fighter harder than I did to live. And I’ll be there soon, my friend. I love you," Lee added. (H/T: ) While fans are undoubtedly happy that isn't going anywhere, his emotional speech was genuinely moving.
