WWE talent reportedly auditioned for "Twisted Metal."
Mike Johnson at PWInsider reports that Omos, Cedric Alexander, and Apollo Crews auditioned for the role of Axel in the "Twisted Metal" series. The report notes that "production is going forward without any of the WWE talents having been cast in the role."
Samoa Joe plays the body of "Sweet Tooth" in the series. Will Arnett provides the voice.
Season two of the series, which airs on Peacock, will reportedly film in Toronto later this month. Filming is scheduled through October at the least.
Samoa Joe faced Chris Jericho in a Calgary Stampede match on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite. Jericho won the match after placing Joe on a forklift and driving him through a wall. Joe was taken out of the arena on a stretcher and in an ambulance.
