by Swerve Strickland is one of the prominent star in AEW. He has wrestled many great matches in AEW, but his recent Texas Death Match against Adam Page might have completely changed how audience see him. Strickland received lots of appreciation for that match.
Swerve Strickland recently gave an interview to TMZ Sports, where he talked about Texas Death Match. Swerve says he feels he can be the first African American AEW World Champion.
“It was that Hangman Moonsault with the chair and barbed wire. Hangman is a deceptively massive man in itself. Receiving a Moonsault from him at that height and that weight and that speed and velocity already takes a lot out of you,” Swerve told us.
“Add in a metal chair wrapped in like probably hundreds of yards of barbed wire wrapped in a spool around it, it just scraped across me, along with Hangman landing across me. Out of all the brutal stuff we did in that match, that was probably the one that stuck out.”
“I feel like I catapulted myself as one of the top guys in the industry. And I said this before, earlier in the year, I really feel I can be the first African American AEW world champion.”
