Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your folding chairs because AEW and Warner Brothers Discovery are taking their synergy game to a whole new level. Not content with just making waves (literally) during Shark Week, these titans of entertainment are bringing a wild mashup to San Diego Comic-Con. Picture this: AEW wrestlers squaring off against your favorite Adult Swim characters in a spectacle that’ll have you questioning reality.
Earlier today, Adult Swim took to X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) to announce that AEW will be part of their Comic-Con lineup on July 25. The highlight? A special AEWx[as] Battle of the Booty event at 7:30 PM. And if you’re thinking this sounds like the most insane crossover ever, you’d be right!
In a now-deleted tweet, we got a glimpse of the outrageous matchups planned for the evening. It seems Johnny TV and Taya (though she was cheekily misspelled as Tanya) are set to clash with Fang from “Primal” and Meatwad from “Aqua Teen Hunger Force.” As if that wasn’t enough, Willow Nightingale and the perpetually laid-back Orange Cassidy will take on Rachel from “YOLO” and Mr. Frog from “Smiling Friends.” Whether the tweet was yanked because of a card change or just to keep us all in suspense is anyone’s guess.
This isn’t the first time AEW and Adult Swim have danced this bizarre tango. Back in 2019, they joined forces for a Halloween-themed episode of “Dynamite,” featuring cameos from “Rick and Morty” and AEW stars dressing up as the iconic duo. Sadly, Rick and Morty themselves have yet to step into the squared circle at Comic-Con. Maybe they’re too busy concocting interdimensional mischief, or perhaps they’re holding out for a bigger payday.
One thing’s for sure: this Comic-Con event is set to be a riotous blend of headlocks and hilarity, with AEW and Adult Swim characters bringing the kind of mayhem you can only dream of. Mark your calendars, folks – you won’t want to miss this collision of worlds!
