“DICK CHENEY IS DEAD AND A MUSLIM IS MAYOR OF NYC WE UP,” he wrote on X.

The Saudi Arabia-born pro wrestler has performed in WWE, All Elite Wrestling, Ring of Honor and other promotions around the world. He was also named one of the top 500 singles wrestlers by Pro Wrestling Illustrated in 2021.

The hyped-up post drew some criticism on social media.

Cheney’s death was announced early Tuesday morning. He was 84.

He served as vice president under President George W. Bush during the 9/11 terror attacks and the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.

“Richard B. Cheney, the 46th Vice President of the United States, died last night, November 3, 2025. He was 84 years old. His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed,” his family said in a statement obtained by Fox News. “The former Vice President died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.”

Mamdani, a democratic socialist, defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. The hotly contested race even prompted criticism from President Donald Trump.

Mamdani appealed to Trump in his victory speech.

“New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant,” Mamdani said. “So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”
