During last night’s AEW Dynamite event in Las Vegas, the crowd erupted with loud “F*ck ICE” chants before the World Title Eliminator match between Brody King and AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF). This moment quickly went viral on social media, reflecting widespread frustration with the immigration enforcement agency.
Referee Bryce Remsburg later admitted on X that he delayed ringing the bell to allow the chants to continue longer, saying,
“It seems like the referee may have waited to ring the bell so these could resonate longer? Oh no. Whoops.”
Brody King’s History of Opposition to ICE
Brody King has been openly critical of ICE and its recent raids. Alongside Daniel Warren Johnson, he donated nearly $58,000 to support families affected by those operations. Previously, King raised $27,000 for the Local Hearts Foundation by selling “Abolish ICE” shirts, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to opposing the organization’s actions.
Match Outcome and Upcoming Championship Bout
In the eliminator match, King decisively defeated MJF, known as “The Salt of the Earth,” earning the right to challenge MJF for the AEW World Championship. Their highly anticipated title match is scheduled for February 14 at AEW’s Grand Slam event in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Implications of the Event and What to Expect Next
The fervent “F*ck ICE” chants and Brody King’s activism underscore the growing intersection between professional wrestling and political expression. With King set to face MJF in Australia, fans are watching closely to see how this rivalry unfolds amid ongoing social tensions surrounding immigration enforcement policies.
