United States Senator Calls for Tony Khan to Bring Bad Bunny to AEW

As noted before, Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show in Las Vegas, Nevada featured the crowd chanting “F*ck ICE” prior to the start of the AEW World Championship Eliminator match between Brody King and MJF. Referee Bryce Remsburg revealed that he delayed the ringing of the bell for the match to give the crowd the uninterrupted time for their vocal opposition to ICE. Following the show, NBC News, TMZ, and other news outlets covered the anti-ICE chants at the show.

United States Senator Ruben Gallego, who is from Arizona, responded earlier today on Twitter calling on AEW CEO Tony Khan to bring Grammy Award winner musician Bad Bunny to AEW for some shows.

“@TonyKhan it’s time for @AEW to solidify a huge fan base. [Bad Bunny] love wrestling, need him to make some appearances. Just no stretcher match please.”

Bad Bunny recently made the news following his speech at last week’s 2026 Grammy Awards event where he spoke out against ICE during his victory speech for the Best Música Urbana award.

MJF Comments on “Other Companies Are Giving You Fast Food, AEW Makes Gourmet Burgers”

DraftKings’ Ross Tucker held a recent interview with AEW World Champion MJF. One of the topics discussed included MJF’s thoughts about AEW’s success and his praise of the company’s authenticity for its wrestling product.

“It’s massively successful. Tony Khan is a visionary. He’s a mark, but he’s a visionary. He loved professional wrestling and he saw that there was an opening in the marketplace for an alternative to WWE. Where there is Coke, you can have Pepsi. Where there is McDonald’s, you can have Burger King. And so on and so forth. And they just jumped in and they were able to pitch it in Hollywood. And here we are seven years later, and we’re killing it. We’ve had events with 82,000 people in a stadium at Wembley that I main evented and won, no big deal. We have pay-per-views almost monthly. We’re always normally in the top five on cable and streaming for our shows for Dynamite and Collision. And we’re proud of what we’re doing right now, man. We’re up year-over-year in ticket sales with me as champion — duh, must-see.

And the thing that I would want to impart on people who, if you’re not a professional wrestling fan or if you are a professional wrestling fan and you haven’t given us a look yet, I think what we bring is, it’s an authenticity. You know, the other companies, it kind of feels like McDonald’s. They’re giving you fast food. We make gourmet burgers. And I think that was a part of Tony Khan’s pitch for sure.” “
