Senator Ruben Gallego Declares Himself an AEW Fan After Meme of Kane vs. Rey Mysterio
Senator Ruben Gallego reveals his love for AEW after a fan’s meme featuring Kane and Rey Mysterio, declaring himself "more of an @AEW man."
POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C., U.S. Senator Ruben Gallego made a playful admission on social media after a meme depicting wrestler Kane losing to Rey Mysterio sparked a reaction from the Arizona congressman.
The post, which showed Kane, the former professional wrestler turned Knox County mayor, being beaten up by Rey Mysterio and carried the caption, Ruben Gallego when he sees Glenn Jacobs on the Senate floor, prompted the senator to reply with a self‑deprecating message of his wrestling allegiance.
“I am more of an @AEW man,” Gallego wrote in response. The comment came after Jacobs completed his eight‑year term as Knox County mayor, and it noted that Kane last competed in the 2021 men’s Royal Rumble match.
The exchange illustrates how political figures sometimes engage with pop culture, and while Gallego’s tweet was lighthearted, it underscored his enthusiasm for All Elite Wrestling, a promotion that has risen in popularity over the past few years.
