AEW Grand Slam: Mexico featured a chaotic 14-man tag team match, with Brody King joining forces with Bandido, Adam Cole, Atlantis, Atlantis Jr., Daniel Garcia, and Templario to face off against Dax Harwood, Hechicero, Josh Alexander, Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Lance Archer, and Volador Jr.
But it wasn’t just King’s in-ring performance that had fans talking.
Making his entrance in a t-shirt that read “Abolish ICE,” King sparked widespread discussion online. The political statement drew praise and negativity from many fans across social media and was quickly picked up by major news outlets including TMZ, CNN, Fox News, and others.
The t-shirt referenced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a highly debated federal agency responsible for arresting and deporting legal and undocumented immigrants. In recent years, ICE has become the target of nationwide protests, with millions rallying against its policies and practices.
