A Dynamite segment involving Brody King had gone viral a couple of weeks ago. The AEW star has been a vocal critic of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency's recent actions. The loud 'Fuck ICE' chants from the fans before his match had received a lot of mainstream attention.
Fans started speculating about King's status when he did not appear on this week's episode of the Wednesday Night show. Rumors suggested that AEW's broadcast partners, Warner Bros Discovery could have decided to keep him off TV over fear of angering the current US administration.
WBD has since denied the allegations with an official statement however, and reports have revealed an alternate reason for King missing the show. You can check out more about it here.
