WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley posted a screenshot of MJF’s shocked face from the above clip and wrote: “…really enjoying AEW as of late!”
NBC News wrote: “Fans at an All Elite Wrestling match broke out into an anti-ICE chant that briefly paused the pro-wrestling match and appeared to startle one of the wrestlers in the ring.”
MJF replied: “The world champion wasn’t startled. He’s better than you and you know it. Watch AEW Wednesday night on TBS and streaming on HBO MAX. And watch AEW on Saturday nights on TNT and streaming on HBO MAX.”
Brody replied: “I’m glad that we could both see how visibly frightened
MJF was of me. Watch me end his title reign next Saturday 2/14 across the world at Grand Slam Australia on TNT and streaming on HBOmax.”
For those who don’t know, Brody wore an “abolish ICE” shirt before a match in Mexico in 2025.

• What WWE Sources Are Saying About AJ Styles’ Future
The wrestling world is currently in a state of high alert as AJ Styles transitions into the next chapter of his career. While his tenure as a full-time WWE Superstar has reached its end, the door to the ring isn’t completely shut.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, a significant number of internal WWE sources are convinced that Styles will compete again in some capacity. While he has stepped away from the grueling weekly schedule, the general feeling behind the scenes is that his retirement is far from absolute.
This matches the “never say never” stance Styles took during his appearance on Stephanie McMahon’s podcast, where he intentionally left the future of his in-ring career open to interpretation.
When Stephanie asked AJ why he didn’t leave his gloves in the ring, Styles replied:
“I don’t know. Never say never, right? That’s the saying. I think everybody’s allowed at least once to come out of retirement. Not saying that I’ll do it anytime soon. I’m just saying that.
I mean, what if my son wrestles? The opportunity to tag with him once, right? And you never know. There’ll be a time where the gloves will never go back on, and it may be now, but we’ll see.
I never thought I would want my kids to wrestle. But it’s way different than it’s ever been, and a lot better than it’s ever been when it comes to professional wrestling. It’s done right at this point. So I’d be happy if they wrestle. My second oldest (son), I’m working with him now, so he’s in it.”
Despite the heavy rumors, The Phenomenal One is keeping his cards close to his chest. Fightful Select further noted that almost no one – including high-level contacts in both WWE and AEW – actually knows what his specific next move will be.
Whether it’s a coaching role, a final run in another promotion, or just a long break before a special attraction return, Styles has managed to keep his peers and the industry at large guessing as he enjoys his newfound freedom.
