After Disney came Warner Bros

Almost two years ago, when Disney-branded Mickey and Minnie Mouse products first began arriving in Vietnam via an official licensing agent – East Media Holding Inc. – the country was already viewed as having great potential for premium children’s products. After Disney came Warner Bros (WB), with a portfolio of branded movie and animation characters, which appointed Global Brands Group (GBG) as its licensing agent for Indochina in March.

Could you explain about the grammar relating to the bold phrase? Why it is not "After Disney Warner Bros (WB) came,..."?
Thanks.

It's a correct but uncommon word order. It is used mainly in writing, to add a little drama and style to what is being said. A much, much more common word order is simply 'Warner Bros.
