Mick Foley made a pointed statement as he shared a clip of the anti-ICE chants from Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite. As noted, fans chanted “F**k ICE” before the start of MJF vs. Brody King on this week’s episode of Dynamite. The moment earned AEW some mainstream news and Foley posted to his Instagram to share a video of the moment.
Foley captioned the video:
“…really enjoying @aew as of late!”
King and MJF both commented on the video, with King writing, “My man” while the World Champion wrote (of course), “Have a nice day… tubby.”
Foley announced in December that he was parting ways with WWE over its relationship with President Trump. He wrote at the time:
“While I have been concerned about WWE‘s close relationship with Donald Trump for several months — especially in light of his administration’s ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants (and pretty much anyone who “looks like an immigrant”) — reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me.
I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy. Last night, I informed @WWE talent relations that I would not be making any appearances for the company as long as this man remains in office.
Additionally, I will not be signing a new Legends deal when my current one expires in June. I love WWE, will always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me. But, in the words of Popeye the sailor, ‘I stands all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more.'”
