Well, in all actuality, the RT team hasn't directly confirmed the allusion. They've obviously admitted that Ironwood alludes to someone in Oz as Monty didn't argue against it when AfterBuzz asked who would be the Cowardly Lion for the team.

However, Ironwood could be any number of characters especially robots. Maybe he's TikTok. The Black King, referring back, could be an actual king in the Oz stories, namely someone like King Krewl.
