AEW is releasing a shirt in honor of Jay Briscoe, and the proceeds will benefit his family.
On January 17, Jamin Pugh, also known as Jay Briscoe, lost his life in a car accident. Briscoe was a 13-ime ROH Tag Team Champion and a member of the ROH Hall of Fame. He and his brother Mark competed and captured tag team titles around the world. Though he never competed for AEW, company's president Tony Khan also owns ROH, and many members of the AEW roster worked closely with Jay earlier in their careers.
On January 23, AEW announced that it is releasing the Jay Briscoe Memorial Shirt, which is available on ShopAEW.com. 100% of the proceeds will go to the Pugh family as they continue to cope with the loss of Jamin.
The product listing is as follows:
