Swerve Strickland: The People Want To See Swerve Strickland, The Champion

Swerve Strickland says people want to see him win the gold.

Swerve Strickland continues to gain momentum in AEW. He scored a major victory when he beat Hangman Page in a Texas Death Match at AEW Full Gear. Swerve then defeated Jay Lethal in an AEW Continental Classic match on the November 22 episode of AEW Dynamite.

“You hear that. That’s the echo chamber,” Swerve Strickland said. “It’s getting louder every time I step out in that ring, when I first started hearing it, it was just a little whisper. It was small and it was the night I came out following the weekend of All Out to face Hangman Page, I showed everybody who I really was. I let out a scream throughout the wrestling community.

“Fast forward. WrestleDream. I get the biggest win in my career in AEW over a former AEW World Champion. Hangman Page. Someone who has so many five-star matches. He’s starting to lose count.”

Swerve Strickland Comments On Beating Jay Lethal

Swerve Strickland continued by discussing his win on AEW Dynamite. He pointed out how fans are cheering for him and rallying around him. He stated that the people want to see him win the gold.

“Follow that up we’ll go back to Full Gear, November 18th. I choke him out. He doesn’t get up for ten seconds,” Swerve Strickland said. “I went up against the former AEW World Heavyweight Champion and Swerve hung the Hangman. It’s getting louder now tonight. Night one. I’m the first match in the Continental Classic. Go figure Hangman doesn’t show up, but I’m here at work. I’m here because I wanted more than Hangman, which proved my point all along.

“Jay Lethal is just one of the best competitors in the world and I took him down. Night one following the Texas Death Match, one of the most dangerous matches ever witnessed in AEW history. Now it’s as loud as ever. You need ear muffs to drown out the sound of the people understanding and finally seeing Swerve Strickland, The Mogul. Now they want to see Swerve Strickland, the champion. Whose house? Swerve’s House.”

The AEW Continental Classic will continue on the November 25 episode of AEW Collision. WrestleZone will have coverage of the show as it airs.
