Warner Bros. Discovery just fired back at reports claiming they pulled Brody King from AEW Dynamiteand theyre not mincing words. Amid mounting speculation that WBD executives forced Tony Khans hand to avoid political backlash, a spokesperson issued a statement that the network had nothing to do with Kings absence from the February 11 episode. This comes after Wrestling Observers Dave Meltzer claimed WBD pulled King following the F*ck ICE chants from the February 4 Las Vegas show, where King faced off with MJF. Meltzer tied the decision to concerns that the chantsparked by Kings now-famous Abolish ICE shirtmight upset U.S. President Donald Trump and affect WBDs pending merger with Netflix. Meltzer further claimed political optics were in play, suggesting that WBD wanted to avoid attracting negative attention from Trump during a sensitive corporate period. Even then, fans remain skepticalespecially after a fan was allegedly denied entry to the February 11 taping in California for wearing the same Abolish ICE shirt Brody King promoted. Whether its a miscommunication, backstage politics, or real corporate fear of blowback, the Brody King situation just became impossible to ignoreand the fallout may not be over.
