New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani goes viral for being an AEW fan

New York State Representative Zohran Mamdani, who won New York City’s mayoral election on Tuesday, has gone viral on social media for being an AEW fan. Footage has surfaced of Mamdani attending AEW’s Grand Slam event in 2021, where he was seen singing along to CM Punk’s entrance theme.

Bluesky user DPC (@dpc.bsky.social‬) wrote the following message in July…

“My sister in law campaigned for Zohran years back, and then I met him at AEW Grand Slam and he was such a great guy. To now see him doing what he’s doing is truly wild. He’s genuine and real and wants to help NY sincerely. Vote for him.”

Look in my eyes, what do you see,
