Mark Briscoe gave an emotional speech on the anniversary of his brother's passing.
During Wednesday’s Dynamite, Briscoe honored his brother Jay, who passed away on January 17 of last year in a car accident. He brought up that his nieces were in the car with Jay on the day of the accident, and they told the family at the time that his oldest niece may never walk again. Mark then brought out his niece, who walked out on stage with her sister and brother. They hugged as a video began to play highlighting Jay's career.
#DemBoys. Forever.

After his brother’s passing, Mark made his AEW debut in a match against Jay Lethal on the January 25, 2013 edition of AEW Dynamite. The Briscoes had previously been banned from all WBD programming due to Jay’s previous anti-LGBTQ tweets that he had since apologized for.
Mark has continued to compete as a singles wrestler in the time since Jay’s passing. He most recently took part in AEW's Continental Classic tournament, earning just one win.
