The latest episode of the hit NBC series Young Rock featured a portrayal of legendary wrestling personality the Brooklyn Brawler, who fans might have recognized as the Dark Order’s Colt Cabana.
The AEW star took to Twitter yesterday to hype up the episode and shared an image from his time on the set dressed as the Brawler character.

Cabana later spoke about his experience filming the role during his latest Twitch stream, revealing that it took NBC six days to shoot this particular episode.
“For those of you wondering why I was gone for seven weeks, that’s what I was doing for seven weeks while in Australia. I was out playing the Brooklyn Brawler.”
Cabana says that he spoke with the real Brooklyn Brawler after the show aired, and that he was quite pleased with how Cabana played him.
“I didn’t tell Brooklyn Brawler, I wanted it to be a surprise, that was my plan all along. He didn’t find out until tonight and then he sent me a text that says, ‘Thank you, you did a great job.'”
The Great One also threw Cabana some praise on Twitter for his performance.
You and @hhgarcia41 did a great job writing this episode mi amigo.
This was a special one.
Good to see people loving it.
