Overview
- Brody King did not appear on the February 11 AEW Dynamite, and his world title build with MJF ran only as a video package.
- Dave Meltzer reported that Warner Bros. Discovery asked AEW to prevent a repeat of the prior week’s loudly aired “F*** ICE” chant from Las Vegas.
- The reported caution was tied to WBD’s pending sale to Netflix and the regulatory approvals involved, with sensitivity to President Trump’s potential reaction.
- Meltzer characterized the call as “not a Tony [Khan] call” and said it came “from above,” pointing to network direction rather than AEW creative.
- AEW and WBD have not confirmed the directive on the record, and outlets say King’s future TV usage remains uncertain with his title match set for February 14 in Sydney.
