Tony Khan Comments On Support Brody King Receives For His Stance Against ICE: “It’s Great That Brody Has Great Support From The Fans”
The AEW President speaks on the topic.
All Elite Wrestling talent Brody King has taken a firm stance against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). While the federal agency group was conducting raids in the state of Minnesota, King was part of a collaboration to generate funds for families that had been affected by the ICE raids.
During the pre-AEW Revolution media call, Tony Khan commented on the “f*ck ICE” chants that break out on AEW programming.
“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… 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.”
King is scheduled to be in singles action at AEW’s Revolution pay-per-view. He’ll be going one-on-one with Swerve Strickland.
