    AEW Star Pulled From This Wednesday’s Dynamite

    Brody King has been pulled from Dynamite.

    The AEW star was scheduled for a trios match at this Wednesday’s episode of the show, originally announced to be teaming with Darby Allin & Jack Perry to face Andrade El Idolo, Mark Davis, & Konosuke Takeshita of the Don Callis Family.

    President Tony Khan announced on X on Tuesday, however, that King has been pulled from the show for personal reasons, and his tag team partner Bandido will be replacing the heavyweight star in the bout:

    “With Brody out for personal reasons, his partner has his back: Bandido will join Darby/Jungle Jack vs Don Callis Family All-Stars TOMORROW!”

    Brody King formed the team with Bandido back in July last year. The two would go on to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship at the Forbidden Door PPV in August. They held the title for 90 days before dropping the belts to FTR at Full Gear in November.

    The April 8 episode of the Wednesday night show will also feature a TBS Title match between Willow Nightingale and Queen Aminata, as well as a promo from the returning Chris Jericho.

    There is no word on if Brody King will be back on TV next week or if he will be taking more time off. Stay tuned for updates.

  • Watch: F-ICE Chants Heard Before Brody King Match At Grand Slam: Australia

    The anti-ICE chants are following Brody King.

    AEW presented the Grand Slam: Australia event from Sydney tonight, with King challenging MJF for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of the show.

    Before the bout began, fans showed support for the challenger as loud \’Fuck ICE\’ chants were heard in the arena after the recent controversy:

    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.

  • More On Brody King Missing Dynamite

    Brody King was never scheduled for Dynamite.

    WBD denied blocking the heavyweight star from making an appearance on AEW TV after reports of the broadcast giant\’s concern over the viral anti-ICE segment became a topic of discussion yesterday. This came after the 38-year-old missed the Wednesday night show despite being set for a World title match just 2 days later.

    Providing an update on the matter, PWInsider is now reporting that the Hounds of Hell star was never scheduled to make an appearance on Dynamite, and it was the travel schedule that led to him missing the show:

    \”PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources that Brody King was never scheduled for last night\’s AEW Dynamite taping. King and others flew out of LAX last night to Australia, requiring them to miss Dynamite due to the travel schedule.\”

    AEW will be presenting the Grand Slam Australia event from Sydney on February 14, where King will be challenging MJF for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

    The show will also feature a ladder match involving Australian native Kyle Fletcher as well as a big #1 contender match for the AEW title. You can check out the full card for the event here.

  • WBD Denies Blocking Brody King From AEW Dynamite

    WBD has denied reports that it blocked Brody King from appearing on AEW Dynamite this week.

    The heavyweight star was notably absent from the February 11, 2026 episode of the Wednesday Night show despite being set for a World title match against MJF at the Grand Slam Australia event on February 14. This came a week after the segment involving the two names went viral for anti-ICE chants from fans, gaining the attention of mainstream media.

    On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer suggested that these two stories are connected. According to the wrestling journalist, WBD blocked King\’s appearance on AEW\’s flagship show this week in fear of more chants against the current US administration:

    \”This is again not a Tony call. This is from above. You know what it is, nobody wants to get on Trump\’s bad side. If it wasn\’t for that, nobody would care, it\’s just a chant, but unfortunately, they\’ve got a company they\’re trying to sell and get regulatory approval from a guy who is gonna take that stuff personal. That\’s just how it is.\”

    This is referencing the pending deal in which Netflix has agreed to acquire Warner Bros. and HBO Max from WBD for $82.7 Billion. The merger is yet to be approved by the government.

    WBD has since denied this report, with a statement issued to Fightful: \”Warner Bros. Discovery did not have any involvement in Brody King\’s upcoming AEW schedule. Any speculation to the contrary is categorically false. Brody is scheduled to appear during the next AEW event, which will air this Saturday on TNT and HBO Max\”

  • Brody King Squashes MJF For AEW Title Shot

    Brody King has earned himself an AEW title match.

    The heavyweight star faced MJF in an AEW World Title eliminator match on this week\’s Dynamite. Unfortunately for the champion, the bout did not last very long.

    The Salt of the Earth was distracted by an appearance from Hangman Page at the stage right after the bell, and this allowed King to apply a sleeper hold on the apron.

    The former House of Black member then made short work of wrestling\’s favorite scumbag, delivering a cannonball and gonzo bomb for the victory.

    Things only got more chaotic after the bout as Andrade attacked Brody from behind. El Idolo then attacked Maxwell, only to get taken out by Hangman Page.

    Page looked to make a statement by delivering a Buckshot to MJF, but the AEW champion countered with a low blow. Things came a full circle when Brody laid MJF out again with a Ganso Bomb to stand tall for the closing of the show.

    The victory earns Brody King a World Title match against the 29-year-old at the upcoming AEW Grand Slam Australia event set for February 14.
