Swerve Strickland Recalls His Initial Thoughts After Signing With AEW

Top AEW star Swerve Strickland spoke with The Rich Eisen Show’s T.J. Jefferson on a number of topics, including his initial thoughts when signing with the company.

Strickland said, “Opportunity and time. All the possibilities that could go on here, like I’m rewarded that, I’m forwarded the opportunity, and that’s all I’ve ever needed. That’s all I’ve ever been given, just an opportunity, you know? I work my way up from the bottom, I don’t care. Put me in battle royals, I’ll lose them all, I don’t care, just give me the opportunity to show out.”

On wanting the opportunity to shine:

“Give me the opportunity to be like, ‘Hey, can I get a minute of TV time right here in this spot?’ ‘Absolutely.’ ‘Okay, I’m going to make something matter.’ That’s something that you just can’t ask for anywhere else.”
