OP
Please change the thread title to AEW. The chanting was from fans of Brody King, who's been anti-ICE for quite a while:

The point of the post holds.
The chant is a telling display and message.

King won the match.

The AEW Dynamite main event brought together a large crowd in Las Vegas, a major immigration destination for Latinos where almost 35% of the population is Hispanic or Latino. The professional wrestling company has also attracted a larger Latino fan base in recent years by embracing Mexican luchadores and the Latino wrestling tradition.

King has been outspoken against ICE in the weeks leading up to the Championship Eliminator Match. King, who is also the lead vocalist of the hardcore band Gods Hate, collaborated with artists and a printing company to release T-shirts raising money for the Minnesota Rights Action Committee.
The T-shirt features a photo of King wearing a ski mask and a shirt that says Abolish ICE. The campaign raised nearly $59,000 to support Latino and Somali immigrant communities. In a post on X, King thanked fans who had made a purchase and finished the post by saying F--- ICE.
Last year, King made another statement against ICE by wearing an Abolish ICE shirt at AEWs Grand Slam Mexico. After his choice of wrestling garb drew significant attention and support, King released a T-shirt benefiting a nonprofit organization in California.

(6,404 posts)5. Any comment from Linda McMahon?
McMahon, along with her husband, Vince McMahon, founded sports entertainment company Titan Sports (later World Wrestling Entertainment; WWE), where she worked as the president and later chief executive officer from 1980 to 2009. During this time, the company grew from a regional business in the northeast to a large multinational corporation.
On November 19, 2024, McMahon was nominated by President-elect Trump to serve as U.S. secretary of education for the second Trump administration. McMahon was confirmed to the office by the U.S. Senate on March 3, 2025, by a vote of 5145

(60,798 posts)22. Again, PLEASE edit the OP, both title and text, to say AEW instead of WWE. Leaving it WWE is very misleading,
especially misleading if people don't see the replies correcting you and might later claim elsewhere that this was a WWE event, and either mislead others or be corrected (and then wish they hadn't seen a DU post saying it was a WWE event).
