As we look ahead to Las Vegas, let’s take this opportunity to make it clear that AEW is totally inclusive. We fully support and celebrate all of our athletes, and all of our fans, regardless of their sexual orientation, race, gender, religion or ethnicity. Period. (1/2)

A safe, inclusive, respectful and very cool environment will be central to everything we do at AEW. Be who you are, and come as you are. Because we're all going to come together as a community to change the world. #AEW (2/2)

The posts come after a fan took to Twitter and said to Cody and Brandi that several members of the fanbase have gone on homophobic rants about the company bringing in Sonny Kiss and Nyla Rose. Kiss is openly gay, and Rose is a trans woman. Cody replied to the post, saying:
We are promoting matches that’s causing this apparent debate (which I admittedly have not seen and instead have seen only excitement/happiness). The stand is in standing by those matches. Why would we signal boost hatred? Wrestling is for everybody and not everything is a scandal

We are putting a statement together on this matter. We want everybody to feel safe at the events. Performers/fans/staff etc.
