Brody King has never been the type to stay silent. Whether he’s roaring on stage with God’s Hate or throwing down in the ring for All Elite Wrestling, the California native wears his convictions as visibly as his tattoos. That was the case again at AEW Grand Slam Mexico, where King hit the spotlight in an Abolish ICE shirt, turning his walk to the ring into a clear, defiant statement.
King’s move wasn’t just a fashion choice. The God’s Hate frontman has long spoken out against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, especially in light of recent immigration raids in California that have drawn widespread criticism. With Grand Slam Mexico drawing international attention, King seized the moment to amplify that message, sparking reactions across both the wrestling and hardcore scenes.
His bandmate Taylor Young, co host of the Hardlore Podcast, didn’t waste time throwing support behind the gesture, further underlining how God’s Hate has always worn their values on their sleeves, literally.
For King, the line between stage, ring and real life has always been thin. Whether in front of a crowd of metalheads or wrestling fans, he brings the same ferocity, and the same refusal to back down.
If there’s a message here, it’s simple: hardcore, like wrestling has always been a space to fight back. And King isn’t pulling any punches. Moments like this are a reminder of why Brody King resonates so deeply with both hardcore and wrestling fans. It’s not just about heavy riffs or brutal matches, it’s about standing for something, even when the spotlight’s brightest. For those paying attention, it’s clear: King’s using every platform he’s got to say what needs to be said. Expect more, because if history’s taught us anything, King’s just getting started.
