AEW & Adult Swim set launch date, platform for new ‘Tales from the Top Rope’ show
A new collaboration series from AEW and Adult Swim will launch this Thursday on YouTube.
Called Tales from the Top Rope: AEW Origins, the animated series begins at noon eastern this Thursday on AEW’s on TV channel that features highlights from Dynamite and Collision in addition to series like Renee Paquette’s Meal & A Match series that also aired on the TBS YouTube channel. Adult Swim is a WBD property.
The description is a bit light, but the series appears to be focused on strange stories from AEW wrestlers like the Young Bucks, Toni Storm and Darby Allin who are all seen in the brief promo, seen below.
The project was first revealed in late-January via writer/producer Nick Collins who shared an update on his official LinkedIn page. The show is based on a story by Collins himself and Micah Stahl.
AEW has collaborated with Adult Swim before when Rick & Morty sponsored an episode of Dynamite. Previously, an AEW x Adult Swim Battle For The Booty match also took place at San Diego Comic Con on July 25, 2024.
