AEW Partners with DC Comics for Supervillain Weekend

[MenacingMonk]

Ahead of All Elite Wrestling's debut on TNT Oct. 2, the promotion has revealed a new partnership with DC for what's being called a "Supervillain Weekend."

The All Elite Wrestling on TNT Twitter account shared artwork by Howard Porter and Hi-Fi color, featuring AEW World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho posing with his belt draped around his shoulder.

The artwork is captioned with the message, "Who can stop Le Champion, @IAmJericho? Stay tuned for more of our @DCComics collaboration and don't miss @tntdrama Supervillain Weekend all weekend long this Friday, 9/27 through Sunday!"

All Elite Wrestling recently announced its Wednesday night, two-hour program will be called Dynamite. It will now air in a head-to-head rating competition with WWE's NXT, which has moved from the WWE Network streaming service to USA Network. The debut of Dynamite will mark professional wrestling's return to the TNT network, where it was once the home of WCW Monday Nitro.

All Elite Wrestling Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes released an emotional open letter ahead of AEW's TNT debut, thanking fans worldwide as he shared his feelings on AEW: Dynamite's forthcoming premiere, calling it the most significant night in wrestling during his lifetime.

All Elite Wrestling and DC's supervillain weekend kicks off on Friday, Sept. 27.

Can't wait for that Batman/Omega confrontation.

Bringing back that WCW fukkery with Robocop and Chucky.

Yea they are actually going “all out” they have a lot of partnerships outside of the wrestling world but unlike wwe they are teaming with the companies their fan base actually care about. I bet they won’t be sending their champions to fukking good morning America

Probably made synergy easier since they're on TNT, which is owned by Warner Bros just like DC.
