MVP: “Swerve Strickland is the most dangerous man in AEW. No question about it. It’s my opinion that Swerve is the most phenomenal talent to ever step foot in an AEW ring. Eight months without being pinned or submitted. 


“I saw Swerve lost the title. I saw Swerve’s childhood house burn to the ground. Why is the man that beat Swerve walking around and smiling. Why is the man that burned Swerve’s house to the ground walking around. I don’t see that as a failure of Swerve’s. I see that as a failure of Swerve’s management! Let Swerve know when he’s ready to be taken seriously again…please give him my business card and I’ll be ready to talk business.”
