The recent AEW Dynamite broadcast in Las Vegas was significantly marked by a prominent “F**k ICE” chant from the audience, which began just before Brody King’s match against AEW World Champion MJF. Referee Bryce Remsburg appeared to intentionally delay the start of the match, allowing the chants to resonate longer, a fact he later alluded to on X.
