AEW has slowly been attempting to bridge the popular culture gap between pro wrestling and other media, with AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman’s stints in Adam Sandler movies and veteran pro wrestler Adam ‘Edge’ Copeland’s role in “Percy Jackson” leading the charge.
In line with a recent report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW is teaming up with Adult Swim’s Nic Collins to place together a brand new project. In a LinkedIn post shared by Collins, he announced the collaboration.
“Excited to share that I’m writing and producing a brand new animated project with Adult Swim x All Elite Wrestling,” he posted. At this stage, the one information known in regards to the project helmed by Collins is that he’ll be co-writing it with Micah Stahl, and all of the characters involved will probably be based on the wrestlers in AEW.
Just a few years ago, AEW and Adult Swim had one other collaboration, “Battle For the Booty,” at 2025’s Comic-Con, which advertised the next matches: Johnny TV and Taya Valkyrie versus Fang from “Primal” and Meatwad from “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” with Willow Nightingale and Orange Cassidy taking over the characters Rachel from “YOLO” and Mr. from “Smiling Friends.” Years prior to this, AEW had a special Halloween “Rick & Morty” themed “AEW Dynamite” show, which was certainly one of their earliest themed shows, making the announced project with Collins the third time the promotion partners up with Adult Swim.
To date, AEW’s biggest crossover was arguably after they launched a two-issue comic book event with DC Comics, seeing the likes of Mercedes Moné, Will Ospreay, Darby Allin, Jon Moxley, Swerve Strickland, Kenny Omega, and lots of others team up with DC Super Heroes like Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and a number of other others.
