Tony Khan Weighs In On Brody King Getting Support For Anti-ICE Stance

Brody King has become a fan favorite in AEW, in part because of his stance against ICE, and Tony Khan recently weighed in on the topic. King is a vocal opponent of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and has been the inspiration for “F**K ICE” chants that break out on AEW TV, particularly during his matches.

The matter has garnered attention outside of the wrestling sphere, and Khan was asked on the AEW Revolution media call about the situation. He hyped King as a top star in AEW and reiterated his stance of allowing their talent to use their voice. You can see the highlights below (per Fightful):

On the ‘F**k ICE’ Chants That King Gets:

“Well, Brody King is one of our top stars. I’m very excited for the Brody King versus Swerve Strickland match at AEW Revolution this Sunday. Brody King has built a great reputation in the world of professional wrestling as a top star. He’s won championships here in AEW, been a multiple-time world champion here and has competed in other promotions and been associated with other media… He is a fantastic wrestler and also, as I’ve said before, he has strong personal views. The views that Brody expresses, that’s coming from him from the heart, and one of the things about AEW is you’ll hear people be and express their really authentic self and it comes across in the wrestling.”

On King’s Support Around The World:

“Brody has absolutely gotten a lot of attention and he’s also a great wrestler, so, I think we’ve always put the focus on the sport because it’s a wrestling league and I think the individual views of the wrestlers, it’s good for people to be able to express themselves but also it’s great that Brody has great support from the fans all over the world everywhere we’ve gone… Whether it’s the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the U.K., Australia. So many places we’ve taken AEW and there’s great support for Brody everywhere we’ve been, and I’m sure there will continue to be because he’s a fantastic wrestler.”
