Las Vegas crowd sends a loud message ahead of King vs MJF
Summary
– Las Vegas crowd erupted with a controversial chant before the main event
– AEW official allowed the moment to breathe before the bell rang
– Brody King’s recent charitable actions added context to the reaction
Las Vegas made its voice heard loud and clear during the February 5 episode of AEW Dynamite. The night’s main event featured Brody King squaring off with AEW World Champion MJF in a high-profile eliminator match.
Before the opening bell, the crowd broke into a sustained chant aimed at ICE, echoing King’s publicly stated opposition to the organization. Referee Bryce Remsburg later confirmed on social media that he intentionally delayed the start of the match to allow the moment to play out.
Clips of the chant spread rapidly across social platforms, racking up hundreds of thousands of impressions within hours. The reaction quickly became one of the most talked-about moments from the episode.
The timing was notable given King’s recent off-screen actions. Just days earlier, King and artist Daniel Warren Johnson donated nearly $58,000 to families affected by ICE raids in Minnesota.
King has a track record of backing his words with action. During the summer of 2025, he raised $27,000 for the Local Hearts Foundation through sales of his Abolish ICE merchandise.
Las Vegas didn’t just react to a match that night. The crowd amplified a message that had been building around Brody King for months.
