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

King has been outspoken against ICE in the weeks leading up to the Championship Eliminator Match. King, who is also the lead vocalist of the hardcore band God’s Hate, collaborated with artists and a printing company to release T-shirts raising money for the Minnesota Rights Action Committee.

The T-shirt features a photo of King wearing a ski mask and a shirt that says “Abolish ICE.” The campaign raised nearly $59,000 to support Latino and Somali immigrant communities. In a post on X, King thanked fans who had made a purchase and finished the post by saying “F--- ICE.”

Last year, King made another statement against ICE by wearing an “Abolish ICE” shirt at AEW’s Grand Slam Mexico. After his choice of wrestling garb drew significant attention and support, King released a T-shirt benefiting a nonprofit organization in California.

King won the match.
