Wrestling Fan Zohran Mamdani Elected Mayor Of New York
Zohran Mamdani won the New York Mayor’s electoral race on Tuesday, defeating former governor Andrew Cuomo.
Wrestling fans might be familiar with Mamdani as he was seen attending AEW Grand Slam 2021, taking in the dream match between Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega. Along with enjoying Danielson vs. Omega, Mamdani, who was sitting in the rafters, was caught enjoying “Cult of Personality” as CM Punk made his entrance.
