God's Hate have closed this latest chapter of their career, announcing a hiatus just minutes before performing at the 2025 Sound and Fury festival. The hardcore band didn't expand on the length of their hiatus, simply writing that "The job is finished... for now."

With AEW's Brody King on vocals, God's Hate have been underground favorites in the hardcore scene for a decade. God's Hate's 2021 album, God's Hate, (which features the song "God's Hate") is a staple of the current decade, delivering messages that back King's recent statements and actions against ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

In response to the media attention King received by wearing an "Abolish ICE" shirt at AEW Grand Slam Mexico, the wrestler and vocalist launched a shirt for charity, which raised over $27,000 for families affected by ICE raids.

As for God's Hate, the band posted on July 13:

A MESSAGE FROM GOD’S HATE:

GOD’S HATE HIATUS BEGINS TONIGHT AFTER SOUND & FURY. THE JOB IS FINISHED… FOR NOW.

Brody King chimed in with a retweet to quell fans' worries saying "This is far from goodbye… We’re just reloading."

The announcement comes after Brody King's performance at All In, where he competed in the Men's Casino Gauntlet match for a future shot at the AEW World Championship. King's entrance got one of the biggest pops of the match, but it was ultimately won by MJF.

10 Infamous Receipts in Pro Wrestling History

In pro wrestling, a "receipt" is an ass-kicking that you brought upon yourself. It comes from the cardinal rule of the business -- always take care of your opponent. If you fail to do that, the repercussions will fall squarely on your head (often via chair shot).

The Undertaker recently explained the purpose of giving receipts in wrestling. "I'm pretty patient [when it comes to giving a receipt]. It all depends on intent," the Deadman said. "Some guys just work very snug. I pride myself on my punches. I feel like I can make it look like I can take your head off and not touch you. Every once in a while one gets away from me... I'd much rather it be there than it miss. It ain't ballet."

But not all receipts come after a stiff shot gets away. Sometimes a performer delivers a receipt to protect themselves from an unsafe worker, like when Taker had to shut down Giant Gonzalez at Wrestlemania IX. "[Gonzalez] cracks me right across the back of my neck, and then once I get back the feeling in my little fingers... I flipped," Taker recalled on his podcast. "I turned around and just started wailing on him."

Let's go back to classic WWE, the old territories, and even a battle between monsters in Japan. Here are 10 of the most infamous receipts in pro wrestling history.

5 Greatest Feuds in AEW History

"It was so unique and so personal," Swerve Strickland said about his blood feud with Hangman Adam Page. "It got so personal because it wasn't just two wrestlers, it's two human beings, and crossing the line of men. How far you're willing to go to push those buttons of someone that you truly hate? Why are you hating them? What are you going to do about it?"

"It's that hatred that actually brings out the best in the product of what AEW is, in my opinion. People get uncomfortable because we pushed the line so far." 

Throughout its short lifespan, AEW has created some of the most iconic and vicious feuds in pro wrestling history. A brand that isn't afraid to turn the violence up to sickening heights, AEW has allowed its rivalries to escalate to Tarantino levels, solidifying stars like MJF and Toni Storm in the process.

Some of these rivalries were simply to prove who exactly was the best in the world inside the ring, while others devolved into deeply personal wars based on hatred and the thirst for revenge. Regardless of intention, these are the five greatest feuds in AEW history.
