Fans at an All Elite Wrestling match on Wednesday night broke out into an anti-ICE chant that briefly paused the pro-wrestling match.

The AEW Dynamite main event brought together a large crowd in 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.

Reigning champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman, also known as MJF, looked shocked as the chant began, staring into the camera wide eyed before scanning the crowd.

King has been outspoken against ICE in the weeks leading up to the Championship Eliminator Match.

After his choice of wrestling garb garnered significant attention and support, King released a t-shirt benefiting a non-profit organization in California.

AEW, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to NBC News requests for comment. »

I think the overriding mission of a Democratic administration and a Democratic Congress should not be vengeance but justice for offenses against the law and the republic.

Any Democratic politician who is not prepared to be merciless is unworthy of support. »

Thursday, however, surely marked the first time it was asked whether ski jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid in order to fly further.

“Ski jumping is very popular in Poland [Banka’s home country] so I promise you I’m going to look at it,” he said, with a wry smile.
