Swerve Strickland and AEW have been promoting Supergirl for some time, and Strickland took to it the next level tonight.
During his entrance at AEW Forbidden Door for his match against Will Ospreay, Strickland came out in full Lobo gear. The star channeled his inner Jason Momoa as he showed up fully themed as Lobo from the new movie. Strickland rode in on a motorcycle in full biker gear, complete with his own custom logo on the back of his vest and pants.
He could also be seen with a cigar in his mouth as well, similar to Lobo throughout all of Supergirl. This continues the promotion that’s been going on between both companies. As part of a partnership between Warner Bros., the former AEW World Champion and Harley Cameron filmed exclusive promotional videos with Alcock, who portrays Kara Zor-El in Supergirl.
Unfortunately for Strickland, his awesome look wasn’t enough to win. He lost his match against Will Ospreay (who also came out like the DC character Bane during his entrance) in the Men’s Owen Hart Cup Finals. The win gives Ospreay his own shot at the AEW World Championship at AEW’s All In, and Strickland will instead have to take solace knowing he showed up in an extremely awesome outfit and put on a classic match.
