Brody King did not appear on the recent episode of AEW Dynamite due to travel commitments, not because of any restrictions imposed by Warner Bros. Discovery. Multiple sources have clarified that King was not booked for that show, and his absence stems from his international travel schedule related to upcoming AEW events.
Details on AEW Talent Travel to Australia
According to a report by Pwinsider, King, along with several other AEW wrestlers, left Los Angeles International Airport on February 11 to head to Australia. This trip was in preparation for the AEW Grand Slam: Australia event scheduled for February 14. Despite King and AEW World Champion MJF missing the live Dynamite broadcast, their championship match was still promoted through a video package.
Warner Bros. Discovery Denies Any Role in King’s AEW Absence
Contradicting earlier unconfirmed reports, Warner Bros. Discovery has officially denied intervening in Brody King’s AEW schedule. A company statement emphasized that they are not involved in his appearances and that any contrary speculation is false.
“Warner Bros. Discovery did not have any involvement in Brody King’s upcoming AEW schedule. Any speculation to the contrary is categorically false. Brody is scheduled to appear during the next AEW event, which will air this Saturday on TNT and HBO Max.”
