* ShortLivedBigImpact: His AEW run lasted just fourteen matches across seven months, from his debut in March to losing the TNT Championship in October, after which he was absent from the company until his death.

** The influence of his AEW run continued even after his death, as the kindness and respect AEW showed to him and his family made waves in the industry. Notably, Wrestling/CMPunk cited the fact that AEW had been aware of his illness but ''not one word'' had leaked to the dirtsheets about it until his passing as the final deciding factor that convinced him that he should come out of 7 1/2 years of retirement to join the company that had treated Brodie so well.

** And of course, there's no way of knowing what plans AEW would have had in place for him in the future, but they would undoubtedly have been big. It was universally considered a no-brainer that he would be AEW World Heavyweight Champion at some point, and presumably sooner rather than later.

** It is also very likely that he would've had a big match with [[Wrestling/AdamPage "Hangman" Adam Page]] at some point; Brodie was notably the only person to score a pinfall win over Hangman in 2020, and given that Hangman's first storyline of 2021 featured him contemplating joining the Dark Order, it's easy to imagine an alternate version of that storyline with Brodie and a more antagonistic Dark Order.
