TNT is bringing "A Christmas Story" into the ring as AEW's wrestlers reenact iconic scenes from the beloved film. Beginning December 24, the scenes will air as interstitials during TNT and TBS' 24-hour "A Christmas Story" marathon, as well as online at TNT.tv and TNT's Youtube page. Fans voted online to help re-create the cast, including:

  • MJF as Ralphie
  • Cody and Brandi Rhodes as Mr. and Mrs. Parker
  • Chris Jericho as Santa Claus
  • Eddie Kingston as Schwartz
  • Scorpio Sky as Randy
  • Ortiz as Flick
  • Dr. Britt Baker as Miss Shields
  • Ricky Starks as Farkus
  • Allie as Dill
  • Frankie Kazarian as the Elf
  • Luchasaurus as the Freight Man
  • Narration and stage direction read by AEW announcers Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone

Scenes include Ralphie's cringe-worthy Santa Claus visit, the pink bunny suit bit and the unforgettable "Triple Dog Dare You" and leg lamp moments. Online and on social media, this exclusive activation will help raise awareness for AEW's nonprofit partner KultureCity, the nation's leading nonprofit on sensory accessibility for those with autism, PTSD, anxiety and other sensory ailments. Starting Wednesday, December 23, fans can logon to AEWCares.com to donate to KultureCity.

Additionally, "AEW Dynamite" will air a special "Holiday Bash" episode on December 23 at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT following the NBA game on TNT. About AEW
Founded by CEO, GM and Head of Creative Tony Khan, AEW is a new professional wrestling league headlined by Cody & Brandi Rhodes, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson), Chris Jericho, Hangman Page and Jon Moxley. For the first time in many years, AEW is offering an alternative to mainstream wrestling, with a roster of world-class male and female wrestlers that is injecting new spirit, freshness and energy to the industry. The inaugural event under the AEW banner was the sold-out DOUBLE OR NOTHING PPV in Las Vegas in May 2019.

AEW began airing its weekly show on TNT on Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2019, from 8-10 p.m. ET. The show, "AEW DYNAMITE," is Wednesday's No. 1 wrestling show and attracts the youngest wrestling audience on television. AEW's multi-platform content also includes "AEW DARK," a weekly pro-wrestling Youtube series, "Being the Elite" a weekly behind-the-scenes Youtube series, and "AEW Unrestricted," a weekly podcast series co-produced with WarnerMedia.
