AEW Teases Collaboration With Rob Schamberger
Artist Rob Schamberger seems to have a project in the works with All Elite Wrestling. After over a decade of making art for WWE and hosting their YouTube show Canvas 2 Canvas, he announced his exit on April 15. Three days later, AEW has teased working with Schamberger.
The AEW Shop Twitter account shared a graphic revealing that they have something planned with the famous artist. The graphic also shared the date of April 22, with the expectation that's when AEW will share what they are working on with Schamberger.
Despite not having more information, fans have reacted positively to Schamberger's working with AEW. He has done work outside of WWE but gained a following for his art on the Canvas 2 Canvas show. On February 12, his last episode was a portrait of former WWE Women's Champion Iyo Sky.
It's unclear if Schamberger will make portraits of some of AEW's biggest superstars or if the company has other plans for him. AEW has artist Mel Coleman creating items, including posters and shirts. However, the company may decide to have Schamberger create a unique supply of merchandise for them.
As of now, it seems fans will have to wait and see what AEW has planned. However, it does create excitement for the possibilities of what Schamberger is doing with them.
Several of AEW’s recent hires have been former WWE employees. One notable example is former WWE Senior Writer and Producer Jennifer Pepperman, who left her position on February 15. AEW hired Pepperman on February 21 to become the Vice President of Content Development. SEScoops correspondent Aaron Varble reported that her exit from WWE was unexpected and that the day she left, it was believed she had another job set.
Another key hire this year from AEW was former WWE Regional Director of Live Events, Kosha Irby. He became 'All Elite' on March 26, in the role of Chief Operating Officer.
Schamberger would be another strong pickup as AEW continues to make strategic moves behind the scenes.
