AEW’s Brody King Teams With Headlocked Comics for Charity Release Supporting Families Impacted by ICE Raids

AEW’s Brody King is once again using his platform for a cause close to his heart, teaming up with Headlocked Comics on a new charity initiative aimed at helping families affected by ICE raids.

Headlocked founder Michael Kingston announced on Wednesday that King is partnering with the company for a special release of Headlocked: Tales from the Road. The project also brings in acclaimed comic artist Daniel Warren Johnson, who will provide a special variant cover for King’s story, fittingly titled “Hardcore.”

All proceeds from the variant cover will be donated to MIRAC (Minnesota Immigrant Resource Action Committee), an all-volunteer, grassroots immigrant rights organization. MIRAC provides critical support for immigrant communities, including food assistance and access to legal aid for families impacted by immigration enforcement.

According to Kingston, fans will have three different cover options to choose from for the Tales from the Road issue, including versions that feature Brody King and options that include his autograph. While the books are expected to ship in mid-March—due to printing timelines, metal cover production, and coordinating autographs—Kingston said the decision was made to list the items immediately so funds could reach those in need as quickly as possible.

In an added bonus for supporters, Kingston confirmed that any additional items purchased from the Headlocked webstore as part of the same order will also be included in the total donation to MIRAC.

The charity variant is available now with a strict limit of one per customer.

King has been outspoken on immigration issues in the past, notably drawing mainstream attention in July after wearing an “Abolish ICE” shirt, with proceeds from that merchandise benefiting the Local Hearts Foundation. This latest effort continues a clear pattern of advocacy from the AEW star—this time blending wrestling, comics, and direct community support into one meaningful initiative.

Brody King Revealed As House Of Black Member During AEW Dynamite Debut

Malakai Black’s tag team partner Brody King has finally debuted on AEW after parting ways with Ring Of Honor.

Former Ring Of Honor star Brody King was revealed as a member of Malakai Black’s ‘House Of Black’ during the former’s AEW debut, which occurred on this week’s edition of Dynamite on TBS.

It all went down at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina on Wednesday, January 12. Penta El Zero Miedo had just scored a pinfall victory over Matt Hardy when he got on the mic to call out Malakai Black. The lights went out, and when they came back on, Black was standing in the ring. Black attacked both Penta and Penta’s hype man Alex Abrahantes but Varsity Blondes (Griff Garrison, Bryan Pillman Jr., and Julia Hart ) made the save and prevented Black from doing any more damage … for a few seconds at least.

Black laughed in the face of his three assailants, and then the lights went off for a second time. When they came back on, Brody King was standing in the ring. Black and King beat everyone up and stood tall as the segment drew to a close.

Brody King is a 34-year-old professional wrestler who cut his teeth in the Southern California independent scene while training at the prestigious Santinos Bros Academy in Los Angeles. Something of a late bloomer, King wrestled his very first match in 2015, but his rise to indie stardom was swift. In 2018, he made his Ring Of Honor as a member of Marty Scurll’s heel faction Villain enterprises.

The following year, King and his Villain Enterprises teammate PCO captured the ROH World Tag Team Championship when they defeated The Briscoes (Jay Briscoe & Mark Briscoe) at ROH’s 17th Aniversary Show. The very next evening, King became a double champ when he and PCO teamed up with Scurll to win the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Title from The Kingdom (Matt Taven, TK O’Ryan & Vinny Marseglia).

Earlier this year, King reunited with his old friend Malakai Black when Black made his shocking return to PWG after a five-year absence at the promotion’s Mystery Vortex VII event. Known collectively as The Kings Of The Black Throne, Brody King and Malakai Black defeated Black Taurus & Demonic Flamita PWG Threemendous VI to win the vacant PWG World Tag Team Championship.

AEW Reportedly Signed Brody King

Top indie wrestler Brody King has reportedly signed with AEW.

King reportedly signed with AEW almost immediately after ROH announced that they were going on hiatus until April 2022 at the end of October, according to Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam. King was then told over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend that the signing was a done deal.

As seen in the tweet below, this week’s Winter Is Coming edition of AEW Dynamite featured a new Malakai Black vignette to tease the debut of a new House of Black member. It’s believed that King will be the new member.

King and Black are the current PWG World Tag Team Champions. Billed as The Kings of The Black Throne, they won the vacant titles at PWG Threemendous VI on September 26, defeating Black Taurus and Demonic Flamita.

He worked for ROH from December 2018 until the company went on hiatus with the Final Battle pay-per-view last weekend.
