Ospreay as Bane, Swerve as Lobo at Forbidden Door

entertainmentJun 29, 202616160

At Forbidden Door, Will Ospreay entered in Bane-themed gear while Swerve Strickland adopted a Lobo-inspired presentation for the main event. One post noted Ospreay had previously said in a 2024 interview that he wanted to do Bane-themed gear. Reactions in the commentary included praise for the wrestlers' nerdy commitment with one post calling them "giant fuckin dorks" and sharper criticism calling the pairing "secondhand embarrassment." Another comment framed the choices as evidence the AEW and DC collaboration is proceeding, and one post also cast Justin Roberts in a Joker role alongside other DC-themed presentations. Several voices predicted the match would be intense, with one saying "This whole main event is going to be insane." The outfits added a comic-book layer of theatricality to the pay-per-view's main event presentation.

Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland cosplaying as Bane and Lobo respectively is a reminder that these incredibly fit, agile and strong athletes are also giant fuckin dorks

So The first time I interviewed Ospreay, I asked what other fictional character would he love to do gear based on. "Ooooof. Bane!" This was 2024.

Actually. It was 2023. What is time.

in 2017 I had like three minutes with him in a building in Lakeland, Florida, and all we talked about was his favorite Assassin’s Creed and how he practiced wrestling dives into a swimming pool. Never published anything on that.

Also as @jeremywhitley.bsky.social as my witness, I called Swerve as Lobo earlier this week.

The morning after an #AEW pay-per-view means trying to smile even though you are running on less sleep and wrestling with your eyelids. It's worth it. Well done Tony Khan and company. #ForbiddenDoor #AEWForbiddenDoor
