Brody King didn’t mince his words when he hit out at a veteran questioning CM Punk’s decision to highlight LGBT rights.
In the main event of the debut episode of Collision, CM Punk teamed up with FTR to defeat Samoa Joe and Bullet Club Gold.
Once the show went off the air, the Second City Saint noticed a fan holding a sign that said “Support LGBTQ+ Kids.” This led to him and FTR bringing the fan into the ring where Punk gave a heartfelt speech in support of the cause.

Brody King hits out at Dutch Mantell’s criticism of CM Punk’s support of LGBT rights
Veteran wrestling manager Dutch Mantell took exception to Punk’s comments, questioning whether it was “wise” to involve what he called “political issues” on the show.
“Is this a wise move…involving a political issues on a wrestling show? I guess the issue that @budlight and @target have had with the LGBTQ topic has not reached @AEW. This shot didn’t make the show but the still photo is there. Comments.”
When House of Black’s Brody King saw the post, he didn’t hold back in his criticism of Mantell and blasted him as “an old bag of s**t.”
“You probably thought it was a political issue when Black people and Women wanted equal rights too, you old bag of s**t.”

King also made his presence felt on Collision. During the show, Andrade El Idolo defeated Buddy Matthews by forcing him to submit to the Figure Eight Leg Lock. However, his luck soon changed when the rest of the House of Black hit the ring and King laid him out.
Black then said something to Andrade before the lights went out. After the show, El Idolo addressed the assault, saying he would see the Trios Champions in Canada.
