AEW star Brody King had fans talking Wednesday night in Mexico City -- but it wasn't just about his match -- the pro wrestler rocked an "Abolish ICE" shirt as he made his way to the ring.
King's bold statement came during AEW's "Grand Slam Mexico" event ... as he prepared to compete in a 12-man tag team match in the country's capital.

Mercedes Moné -- formerly known as Sasha Banks -- has found herself a new tag team partner ... TMZ Sportshas confirmed she is in a relationship with fellow AEW star The Beast Mortos.

Former WWE Superstar Cora Jade tells TMZ Sports a big weight has been lifted off her shoulders after getting released from the promotion ... and while she says she's going to take the foreseeable future one day at a time, she did have a lot of nice things to say about rival company AEW.
Jade -- also known as Elayna Black -- sat down with "TMZ Sports" TV show cohost Mojo Muhtadi this week ... in the convo, she admitted she anticipated losing her "dream job" for a few weeks before it actually happened.
While there's certainly some sadness about the breakup, she's equally as excited for the opportunities that are now on the table -- like working with other wrestling promotions, as well as her OnlyFans and YouTube endeavors.
It's been more than a year since Vince McMahonstepped down from his roles in WWE and TKO over allegations of sexual assault ... and while he's a rare sight out in public these days -- his son, Shane, tells TMZ Sports he's doing "really well."

Sarayaand All Elite Wrestling have gone their separate ways ... and while the former WWE Superstar is excited to pursue opportunities outside of the squared-circle, she tells TMZ Sports she'd seriously consider a return to her old promotion.
We caught up with Saraya shortly after news broke of her contract with AEW coming to an end ... and she reiterated it was a mutual split from both sides.
"Tony [Khan] was great throughout the whole process," she said. "He was very supportive of everything. I just wanted to get my toes wet outside of wrestling."
Saraya-- FKA Paige in WWE -- has announced she is parting ways with All Elite Wrestling.
The English wrestler made the announcement in her upcoming podcast "Rulebreakers With Saraya," which drops on Thursday.

Jon Moxley's job Wednesday night was to entertain the masses with a gruesome wrestling match ... and it's safe to say, he nailed the assignment.
The AEW superstar clashed with his nemesis, Adam Copeland, in a Street Fight during "Dynamite" in Omaha, Neb. ... and he put on quite the painful show.
Mox's reign hasn't been the best, but his physical risk-taking has been admirable.
Per the rules of the match, the two were allowed to use weapons ... so, at one point, Copeland brought out a spiked board and tossed Moxley directly onto it.
Paul Walter Hauser is still running hot following his incident with Q.T. Marshall at the AEW Revolution kick-off show on Sunday ... telling TMZ Sports the wrestling star crossed the line with his antics -- and he's gonna regret every bit of it.

As the months went on ... they slowly continued to rekindle their relationship, with Perry even jetting over to Bulgaria for the Christmas holiday. Fast forward to a few weeks ago ... they held a small ceremony at a church in L.A. and doubled down on their marriage.
Big Boom A.J. is ready to bring the BOOM this Sunday at AEW Revolution in Los Angeles ... but the future might belong to Big Justice, 'cause he tells TMZ Sports he could be a world champion one day!!

"Maybe one day I will be AEW World Champion," he said.
Anyone sliding into Saraya's DMs better not hold their breath ... 'cause the AEW star tells TMZ Sports she's not looking to rush back into a relationship following her breakup with Ronnie Radke.
We caught up with the 32-year-old out in L.A. recently ... and she backed what the "Falling in Reverse" rock star said last week -- there's no bad blood between the two, it was just time for them to end things romantically and remain friends.
Now that she's single for the first time in six years, Saraya plans to take some time to herself.
AEW star Sarayais set to be a free agent later this year... and while she navigates what her future could look like, she isn't shutting down a potential reunion with WWE!!
"I love WWE," she told TMZ Sports. "I appreciate everybody there. They made me, they gave me my career and I'm just appreciative of that. One day, who knows, [but] I love my time in AEW."
The 32-year-old said she ended on good terms with her former employer and still keeps up with the current product to this day.
And the Emmy goes to ... Adam Copeland?? It could happen ... and the AEW superstar tells TMZ Sports it's surreal to even be considered for the prestigious award!!
The 51-year-old wrestler and actor chopped it up with Mojo Muhtadi on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs nightly on FS1) ahead of his in-ring return at AEW Dynamite: Fight For The Fallen ... and we got his thoughts on being up for the Best Supporting Performer in a Preschool, Children's Or Young Teen Program for his role in Disney's "Percy Jackson and the Olympians."
Even though he's got a growing resume in front of the camera, Copeland said he didn't really think of himself to be much of an actor until recently.
Big Boom A.J.'s big win at AEW Full Gear came with a price -- the wrestling org. just announced the TikTok star broke his foot during his match against QT Marshall.
The company dropped the news Monday morning ... saying A.J. suffered the aliment at some point in this past weekend's action -- but did not disclose exactly what caused it.
"AEW looks forward to welcoming Big BOOM! A.J., Big Justice and the whole Costco Guys crew back anytime, and we wish him a speedy recovery," the promotion said.
