1. AEW not wwe

Easy mistake to make. Sorry to be pedantic!

[mysteryowl]

2. Okay, professional wrestling then.

The point of the post holds.

The chant is a telling display and message.

[highplainsdem]

9. Please change the thread title to AEW. The chanting was from fans of Brody King, who's been anti-ICE for quite a while:

-snip-

The AEW Dynamite main event brought together a large crowd in Las Vegas, a major immigration destination for Latinos where almost 35% of the population is Hispanic or Latino. The professional wrestling company has also attracted a larger Latino fan base in recent years by embracing Mexican luchadores and the Latino wrestling tradition.

King has been outspoken against ICE in the weeks leading up to the Championship Eliminator Match. King, who is also the lead vocalist of the hardcore band God’s Hate, collaborated with artists and a printing company to release T-shirts raising money for the Minnesota Rights Action Committee.

The T-shirt features a photo of King wearing a ski mask and a shirt that says “Abolish ICE.” The campaign raised nearly $59,000 to support Latino and Somali immigrant communities. In a post on X, King thanked fans who had made a purchase and finished the post by saying “F--- ICE.”

Last year, King made another statement against ICE by wearing an “Abolish ICE” shirt at AEW’s Grand Slam Mexico. After his choice of wrestling garb drew significant attention and support, King released a T-shirt benefiting a nonprofit organization in California.

King won the match.

[mysteryowl]

5. Any comment from Linda McMahon?

[mysteryowl]

6. ...

McMahon, along with her husband, Vince McMahon, founded sports entertainment company Titan Sports (later World Wrestling Entertainment; WWE), where she worked as the president and later chief executive officer from 1980 to 2009. During this time, the company grew from a regional business in the northeast to a large multinational corporation.

On November 19, 2024, McMahon was nominated by President-elect Trump to serve as U.S. secretary of education for the second Trump administration. McMahon was confirmed to the office by the U.S. Senate on March 3, 2025, by a vote of 51–45

[cbabe]

15. Comment seven: when you've lost pro wrestling ...

[Polybius]

18. It's not WWE, thew op was mistaken

Linda McMahon (and Vince) has nor (nor never did) have anything to do with AEW.

[orangecrush]

7. When you've lost pro wrestling....

[mysteryowl]

8. Yes, it is significant.

[Polybius]

19. AEW is tiny

It's not WWE, despite the title.

[orangecrush]

23. Still cool

[obamanut2012]

12. AEW not WWE -- uite different audiences

[WarGamer]

14. Why did you type WWE? Video clearly says AEW

[Polybius]

16. Please edit the title, it's real easy

It's AEW, a much less popular wresting league. It is not WWE.

[RandiFan1290]

17. trump's supporters think it is OK because it wasn't the WWE. nt

A hit dog will holler!

[Polybius]

20. You prefer incorrect information?

[highplainsdem]

22. Again, PLEASE edit the OP, both title and text, to say AEW instead of WWE. Leaving it WWE is very misleading,

especially misleading if people don't see the replies correcting you and might later claim elsewhere that this was a WWE event, and either mislead others or be corrected (and then wish they hadn't seen a DU post saying it was a WWE event).
