Fans at an All Elite Wrestling match on Wednesday night broke out into an anti-ICE chant that briefly paused the pro-wrestling match and appeared to startle one of the wrestlers in the ring.
At the AEW World Championship Eliminator Match in Las Vegas, which was being broadcast live on TBS and HBO Max, a loud and sustained cry against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of “F--- ICE” reverberated through the audience before the opening bell rang.
Reigning champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman, also known as MJF, looked shocked as the chant began, seeming to break character and staring into the camera wide eyed before scanning the crowd. Brody King, in the opposite corner, can be seen looking at the audience and nodding.
King has been outspoken against ICE in the weeks leading up to the Championship Eliminator Match. The pro wrestler and lead vocalist of the heavy metal band God’s Hate collaborated with artists and a printing company to release t-shirts raising money for the Minnesota Rights Action Committee.
