AEW Origins, AEW's Partnership With DC & More W/ Steve Orlando | AEW Unrestricted

Steve Orlando – the mastermind behind DC Comics hits like Wonder Woman and Justice League of America – is bringing AEW into the DC Universe with the AEW x DC comic crossover! He breaks down the origin of this dream project, what it was like developing the story, and how AEW stars like Darby Allin, Swerve Strickland, Hangman Adam Page, Willow Nightingale, Toni Storm, Orange Cassidy, and Jon Moxley were chosen for the book. He also talks pairing Darby with Batman, and Toni Storm with Zatanna, in a dynamic that “writes itself.” Steve explains why comics and wrestling are “chocolate and peanut butter” storytelling, how moments like Mercedes Moné’s shocking turn shaped the entire story, and why a Sting appearance was non-negotiable. He also shares how he got into wrestling, the comic that hooked him for life (West Coast Avengers #16), his decades-long grind to break into DC, and how the “Big Galactic Belt” drives the multiversal story. Upper Deck’s AEW SP Signature Edition is here, featuring Mercedes Mone, Orange Cassidy, Kenny Omega and more! https://bit.ly/4srGApc #AEW #AEWonTV #ProWrestling #Wrestling SUBSCRIBE to ‘AEW on TV’: https://bit.ly/AEWOnTV About All Elite Wrestling: AEW features a world-class roster of diverse male and female wrestlers, giving fans a new wrestling experience for the first time in 20 years.
