At Wednesday night’s AEW Grand Slam: Mexico event, Brody King made a bold statement by wearing a shirt emblazoned with the slogan “Abolish ICE.” The move quickly caught the attention of fans and wrestling media alike, sparking discussion across social platforms.
The slogan is associated with the political movement calling for the dismantling of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a stance that has generated popular debate in recent years.
The audience at the Mexico Arena applauded the fighter and thanked the American fighter for his solidarity with Mexican migrants.
