Swerve Strickland Stands Tall Over AEW Champion

It was a big night at Revolution for Swerve Strickland who announced himself to an AEW champion as he plots his way to the title.

Over the last several weeks Ricochet has been a constant thorn in the side of Swerve Strickland. The former WWE star went as far as stealing Prince Nana’s Embassy robe, flaunting it in Strickland’s face. Prince Nana begged his friend to get the robe that means so much to his own career back but Strickland’s mind seemed to be on bigger things as a match was made with the winner getting a shot at the AEW World Championship.

At Revolution, Swerve Strickland clashed with Ricochet in a match where it seemed it all might be too much for Nana and a split was coming. Thankfully for fans of the pair that never happened as Strickland picked up the win and after the match got on his knees to present the robe to Nana. But their night wasn’t done.

Swerve Strickland Wipes Out Jon Moxley

In the main event, Christian Cage crashed the AEW World Title match between Jon Moxley and Adam Copeland. Cage cost Copeland the win before signing the contract for his own title match turning things into a three way. However, Moxley was able to lock Cage in a bulldog choke that he eventually passed out from which meant Moxley retained the AEW World Championship.

On his way to the back, however, Jon Moxley came face-to-face with Prince Nana who seemed to be sending a message to the champion but it was all a distraction. Perched high above them on the guardrail was Strickland who delivered a huge Swerve Stomp to the champion, standing tall as the show went off the air.
