• AEW Fan Zohran Mamdani Elected New York City Mayor, 2 Wrestlers Celebrate

All Elite Wrestling fan Zohran Mamdani has been elected as the next mayor of New York City, becoming the first Indian American to hold the position and one of the youngest mayors in the city’s history at 34 years old.

The Democratic Socialist and current State Assembly member from Queens won the November 4, 2025, election by defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent in the general election. Mamdani will assume office on January 1, 2026, as he begins forming his administration.

Mamdani was spotted in the crowd at the first ever AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York in 2021, which featured Bryan Danielson vs. Kenny Omega.

Reactions from the wrestling world have started pouring in following Mamdani’s historic win.

Here’s how two AEW stars reacted to the win:
