Superstars from All Elite Wrestling (AEW) joined the glitz and glamor of the “House of the Dragon” season two premiere, solidifying a unique collaboration between two titans under the Warner Bros. Discovery umbrella.
Former TBS Champion Willow Nightingale, known for her flamboyant style, turned heads on the red carpet in a gothic-medieval-fantasy black gown, perfectly capturing the essence of the upcoming season’s themes. Nightingale wasn’t the only AEW personality to grace the event. She was joined by the reigning AEW World Champion, Swerve Strickland, and the ever-intriguing Prince Nana.
This red-carpet appearance wasn’t just about celebrity hobnobbing. It served as a prominent symbol of the growing collaboration between HBO and AEW, both of which are now part of the Warner Bros. Discovery family. This partnership was further emphasized by a recent “AEW Dynamite” match featuring Strickland in a non-title bout against Killswitch. Strickland’s victory served as a promotional push in the lead-up to the “House of the Dragon” season two premiere on June 16th.
“House of the Dragon,” the prequel series to the global phenomenon “Game of Thrones,” is based on George R. R. Martin’s novel “Fire & Blood.” The highly anticipated second season will consist of eight episodes, promising to delve deeper into the Targaryen dynasty’s history and the events leading up to the infamous “Dance of the Dragons” civil war.
With AEW champions walking the red carpet alongside the stars of “House of the Dragon,” fans can expect a continued cross-promotion between the two powerhouses under the Warner Bros. Discovery banner. This collaboration not only brings excitement to wrestling and television fans alike, but also hints at the potential for future creative endeavors that leverage the strengths of both HBO and AEW.
