Tony Khan is really excited about the upcoming crossover between AEW and DC Comics.
All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan was a recent guest on Dirt Sheet Radio. When asked to cast the DC Comics’ Holy Trinity (Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman) with AEW stars, Khan put a lot of thought into his answers.
“It’s a great question because I think if you had to cast those roles, I think Jon Moxley, Batman,” Tony Khan said. “Jon Moxley, Batman, the blue collar hero is very different than Bruce Wayne, the white collar hero. But still, these guys, they work so hard. They have a different approach. Sometimes their methods could be questioned. But I think they’re both so consistent and they’re both the all-around top people in their profession.
“So Batman and Jon Moxley I would think is a great comparison. For Wonder Woman, certainly Timeless Toni Storm is somebody that would be very consistent with that. Actually, I took Timeless Toni Storm along with a group of AEW wrestlers to do a shoot with the actors from Superman. And Timeless Toni Storm and Lois Lane, fittingly enough, had a great scene together, and Rachel Brosnahan was really cool. Rachel Brosnahan and Timeless Toni Storm shot a video together.
What about Superman and Lex Luthor?
“For Superman boy, that’s a hard one to pick and I could think of many people that would fit the bill. Certainly the AEW World Champion, the top of the profession right now is Hangman Adam Page. So I think you would give him that red cape, but, certainly over AEW’s history, a lot of people have been the great champion, including Samoa Joe, and Hangman Page versus Samoa Joe is coming up very soon at WrestleDream.
“They’ll be fighting for the world championship and that metaphorical Superman red cape that has also been held by Kenny Omega, one of the top people in the profession, and a lot of other top people. Somebody more akin to maybe Lex Luthor, who also shared a screen with Nicholas Holt when we did that DC shoot, is MJF, who’s one of the top villains and a schemer, a rich jerk, a lot like Lex Luthor, a manipulative person, a lot like Lex Luthor.
“So a lot of similarities there, I think. Darby Allin is somebody who also flies through the air, does crazy things. Will Ospreay, one of the great heroes in AEW who were excited to get back from injury, uh, who is like a comic book hero himself, and a lot of great names that would fit this bill for sure.” [H/T: Fightful]
