WWE Superstar John Cena and AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman have teamed up in a surprising way during the premiere of The Iron Claw! The new film from A24 has been one of the most anticipated new releases of the year for wrestling fans as it tells the story of the Von Erich family in a whole new kind of way. Making matters even more enticing for fans of in-ring action has been the addition of those experienced in the ring with the likes of Maxwell Jacob Friedman and more experienced performers who have joined the cast to help bring the Von Erich story to life for the new film. 

But The Iron Claw is also an enticing film for those who just enjoy film in general, and one of those new viewers attending the world premiere of the film is actually someone also aware of both sides of the equation. AEW World Champion (who stars in the film as Lance Von Erich) shared a photo with WWE Superstar John Cena as the two of them attended The Iron Claw's premiere screening with fans on X (formerly known as Twitter) and it's certainly gotten fans wanting more from the duo. Check it out below:

Written and directed by Sean Durkin, A24 teases what to expect from The Iron Claw as such, "The true story of the inseparable Von Erich brothers, who made history in the intensely competitive world of professional wrestling in the early 1980s. Through tragedy and triumph, under the shadow of their domineering father and coach, the brothers seek larger-than-life immortality on the biggest stage in sports."
