The world of professional wrestling is abuzz with excitement as AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland has sent a clear and unequivocal message to Christian Cage, the former WWE Superstar and his next contender for the coveted title. During their intense verbal confrontation on Dynamite last week, Strickland and Cage revisited their storied past, with The Patriarch and his cohorts blindsiding the champion and Prince Nana in a vicious attack.
In a recent tweet, Strickland posted a picture of the dramatic segment, hinting at a return to his old ways, which seemed to be on the backburner since his ascension to the world title. The implied threat is clear: Swerve Strickland is ready to unleash his full fury on Christian Cage, exacting revenge for the betrayal he suffered at the hands of The Patriarchy.
Strickland’s meteoric rise to the top of the wrestling hierarchy has garnered praise from wrestling legends and icons alike. Recently, WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston, while appearing on the Battleground podcast, lavished praise on African-American wrestlers like Trick Williams, Carmelo Hayes, Oba Femi, and, of course, Swerve Strickland. Kingston expressed his joy at their recent successes and hopes to see them continue their winning streak.
Interestingly, Strickland credited Kofi Kingston as a source of motivation during his post-event media scrum after winning the title at AEW Dynasty. It’s clear that Strickland draws inspiration from Kingston’s impressive five-year run and is determined to remain at the pinnacle of professional wrestling.
As the stage is set for Strickland’s showdown with Christian Cage, one thing is certain – the AEW World Champion will stop at nothing to ensure his reign remains unbroken. With Christian Cage firmly in his crosshairs, Swerve Strickland is hell-bent on making him pay for his transgressions. The wrestling world waits with bated breath as these two titans of the ring prepare to clash in what promises to be an epic battle for the ages.
