AEW star Brody King wears 'abolish ICE' shirt before match in Mexico
Print Close By Ryan Gaydos Published June 19, 2025 All Elite Wrestling star Brody King wore an "Abolish ICE" T-shirt as the company held "Grand Slam Mexico" in Mexico City on Wednesday night. King was a part of a 14-person tag-team match with Adam Cole, Atlantis, Atlantis Jr., Bandido Daniel Garcia and Templario. The pro wrestling stars defeated the team of Dax Harwood, Hechicero, Josh Alexander, Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Lance Archer and Volador Jr. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON The event took place in Arena México and featured wrestlers from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) – one of the top promotions in Mexico. King's apparent call to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) came as he showed support for protestors in Los Angeles who were against the raids that took place in the city. The protesters took a violent turn at several points during the week, with law enforcement officers being injured, autonomous vehicles being set on fire and stores being looted. He shared a post from Mexican makeup artist Jose Corella, which started "Let me be clear." "What's happening in Los Angeles right now is not only morally reprehensible – it's legally indefensible. This is a sanctuary city, a designation that was democratically voted on and enacted into law by the residents of this city – not by political opportunists grandstanding from a golf course in Florida," the message read. PRO WRESTLING STAR SHOTZI BLACKHEART'S SULTRY REASON FOR AEW INTEREST "Let me be clear: being undocumented in the United States is not a criminal offense. It is a civil violation. That means it holds the same legal weight as running a stop sign on a bicycle, setting off a firework after a drink, or selling unlicensed fan merch on Etsy. It is subject to civil penalties – typically a fine – not imprisonment, not detention, and certainly not extrajudicial abduction. "Dragging someone off the street at gunpoint, without a warrant or due process, and forcing them into an unmarked vehicle operated by armed, plainclothed agents is not law enforcement – it is armed kidnapping. And armed kidnapping is a felony – a real one. "So, if you're going to obsess over who is *illegal,* start by looking at the heavily armed individuals violating constitutional protections under the guise of enforcing the law. Because what they're doing is criminal, not the people they're targeting." Since then, similar messages have been shared by Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Enrique Hernandez and the National Women's Soccer League's Angel City FC.

'CMLL hosting a sold out Arena Mexico to MLW selling out Chicago! The world saw exactly what happens when we control the chaos.

That's why I'm naming you the new Vice President of Wrestler Relations,' Cesar Duran said. Salina de la Renta replied by saying that, 'Finally the crown fits.' Janai Kai appreciates having Salina de la Renta in MLW WrestleZone recently spoke with Janai Kai about her time in MLW. When she first joined MLW, Kai was aligned with the Promociones Dorado stable led by Salina de la Renta, who also was the Creative Director of the MLW Women's Division at that time. Advertisement 'It's been really great, working with her. When I first came in, she was more like my manager. That's made me actually feel comfortable coming in, so I didn't really feel alone. So, I appreciated her just being there throughout that time. And then obviously, she had a baby and everything. She got pregnant, she just had her baby, but she still keeps an eye on us,' Kai explained. Kai said she benefited a great deal from working with de la Renta. Specifically, Kai appreciates de la Renta being a strong female authority figure who also helped her with many 'wrestling-adjacent' aspects of her career. 'In women's wrestling, we don't really get a lot of that, a female figure to really watch over us in the business or for a lot of shows in general. So, I've really appreciated her with that,' Kai added. 'She is very educated and knowledgable of not only the business, but a lot of other things alongside with it — social Media, PR, and all of that. So, there are certain things that she would mention that were very helpful for me when it came to the marketing and stuff, really showcasing more of that character side.' Kai announced she was leaving MLW in May. Advertisement Read More: Did You Know There's a Luchador-Themed Tequila?
