The “F*ck ICE” chants are back — and louder than ever. During AEW WrestleDream on October 17, 2026, the crowd erupted into deafening anti-ICE chants the moment Brody King was tagged into the AEW World Trios Championship match, forcing the commentary team into complete silence.
The chants were so thunderous that the announcers simply stopped talking, letting the crowd’s message ring out clearly on the broadcast. The commentary team never acknowledged what the fans were chanting.

What Happened At WrestleDream
The moment came during the opening minutes of a Two-Out-of-Three Falls Match featuring Swerve Strickland and The New Level defending the AEW World Trios Championships against Hangman Adam Page and Brodido (the team of King, Page, and Bandido).
As soon as King entered the action, thousands of fans broke into the chant in unison. It was impossible to miss — and the broadcast simply let it happen, with the announcers going quiet rather than talking over it.
How The Chants Became A Brody King Tradition
This is far from the first time King has been at the center of these chants. The AEW star has been openly vocal in his opposition to ICE, previously wearing an “Abolish ICE” shirt and donating merchandise proceeds to support immigrant families affected by immigration enforcement.
The chants first became a major talking point during the February 4 episode of AEW Dynamite, when Las Vegas fans erupted ahead of King’s match against MJF. That reaction was so powerful that AEW referee Bryce Remsburg later admitted he deliberately delayed ringing the bell to give the crowd more time to chant.
Fans carried the chants to AEW Grand Slam Australia, interrupted a King backstage segment on the February 18 Dynamite, and brought them back on the September 16 Dynamite when King teamed with Page and Bandido — though that one was relatively brief. WrestleDream was a different beast entirely.
King has previously addressed the chants, admitting the crowd’s response initially caught him by surprise and saying the support made him feel like he “could run through a wall.”
What started as a February crowd reaction has become a recurring occurrence whenever Brody King steps into the ring — and at WrestleDream, with thousands joining in, it reached a volume the wrestling world won’t soon forget.
