How Swerve Strickland Became One of AEW's Hottest Stars 

Swerve has the drip, each jacket, attire and pants are very stylish and cool.

"What's a buckshot to a killshot?!"....when Swerve said that to Hangman, that solidified his character. 👊🏽

Swerve is quickly becoming one of my top 5 favorites of all time. What a talent, character and story.

Good him, Hangman Page, Wardlow, Powerhouse Hobbs, Jay White, Kenosuke , MJF, and Will Ospreay are guys AEW are gonna want to push

Swerve is going to be a top player in AEW for a long time, and I am definitely looking forward to it

He must become AEW World Champion at Double or Nothing!🍻🍻🍻

Love Swerves work! He deserves a title soon

I said it before and I'll say it again. WWEs biggest loss is AEWs biggest gain! The swag, the charisma, the intensity and his attire. Swerve Strickland is the future of AEW. WHO'S HOUSE!? SWERVES HOUSE!

Sweve is straight main event status in any company

Bro went from cruiserweight Shane Strickland to big ass swerve so fast, dude looks like another person these days. Always been dope no matter the size though

Swerve needs to get a title win

Swerve Swerve, Swervvvve

2:20 I don't know if you can ever truthfully claim that "WWE recognized what they had" with Swerve. Everything he is now, he built himself.

Swerve vs Page shoukd have either a Last Man Standing match, 3 stages of hell or an Ironman match, to end their feud this year maybe it'll be over gold. When Keith Lee returns he has to be the biggest heel in AEW. No talk just hands version Keith Lee would be dope.

Swarve is really good as a heel. I don't think he should change his persona.

All I know is that Swerve has developed greatly in AEW. He has come in to his own. Once he obtains the AEW title, he should have a long run.

I remember when the crowd cheered Swerve at Wrestledream and I thought "oh, it's just the hometown treatment", but then I started really paying attention and realized it was because Swerve is amazing.

Awesome performer & well overdue for a push & title run.

Big pressure, I apply, in the ring you won't survive 🎵

It cannot be stated how important it was for Swerve to ditch the original “Mogul Affiliates” for the Mogul Embassy. Parker Boudreaux and Trench(?) lacked any sort of charisma and presence in the ring. Teaming up with Prince Nana and the Gates of Agony was perfection. Would Swerve be a top guy had he stayed with his original two goons? I believe so, but this is just so much more fun with how things played out!

Swerve Strickland is not only the hottest act in AEW, but in all of wrestling

He will become the needle mover for aew

He’s going places, one of my favorite “new guys” at the moment

The one that got away, absolute star. They better give him the title FR😤

Best swerve match AEW Swerve Strickland Vs Hang Man Adam Page Full Gear 2023 Texas Death Match full match live in LA ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VpIDoQtD-Pg.html

He got the skills in what ever promotion he's in. AEW First Black Champion Yes Sir. Swerve, Swerve

Swerve is definitely the guy in AEW . Just scared that good ol same excuse………… just give it time 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

😭Isiah Swerve Scott was one of my fav in wwe

he was SHANE Strickland before WWE.. "Swerve" was just his nickname

I’m Happy happy happy he’s turning into a star ! I’ve been anticipating for a long long time since the indies I’m happy he’s talked about Been shouting who’s house as a fan for ages

Excellent video. Great narration, clips and editing, keep up the good work! I'm so excited to see more of what Swerve will produce in the future, fly high!

5:50 I see

It'll be surprising if Swerve don't win the AEW World championship this year

The hangman match and the continental tournament match was definitely the turning he was already great before but that really elevated him and it happened organically.

I remember him in lucha underground as Killshot

Swerve when I drive means so much more with prince

I’m watching this while bro champion right now lol good for him man

I feel there’s a common trend of NXT building up black wrestlers as stars only for the main roster to water them down, lessen their screen time and disband them or fire them all together

Swerve is such an organic superstar

Who is here after he won the championship??👀😁

Swerve is becoming like a Superstar naturally. Charisma - His mic skills are awesome!

WHOSE F'ING HOUSE?!?!?!? SWERVE CHAMPION BY YEARS END!!!!!!

Personally I'm not a fan of Nana. Just comes off as unnecessarily silly for an otherwise serious guy like Swerve. But it works for other people I won't get mad at it. I never got to see Swerves work in WWE, at the time I all but checked out of that company at the time. I saw his Luchador Underground work and thought he was great even though I didn't know he was Killshot the whole time. Now in AEW he came in and I had zero expectations for him. I hadn't yet known that he was in LU and to me all he was at the time is just another talent WWE released. Boy was that an understatement. Swerve organically won me over and of course won over anyone that's watched him in AEW. When he first arrived I had zero feelings on him, didn't like him but didn't dislike him either. But week after week he kept impressing me more and more. I'm glad to see him finding the success he has, even if he's technically a heel/tweener. I too want to see him win the world title, hopefully before they get to All In. Swerve vs Ospreay already sounds like an instant classic. But his rivalry with Hangman has the potential to be a long term thing. Kinda like Austin and Rock were perfect foils to each other. Although I think him and Ospreay have the potential to reach that too. Both are incredibly gifted in the ring and have great mic skills along with natural charisma. I'm proud of Swerve. Dude went from someone I didn't really care about to someone who put in the work and I feel deserves his spot in the main event. I'm sure WWE knows they fumbled him but he honestly feels perfect for AEW. So in the end, it worked out.

When HANGMAN page was burning the house swerve 🔥🔥🔥

This story is fantastic! Can't wait to see where it goes!

Now he is aew world champion

I remember his gimmick killshot in lucha underground

Great video!

Real question is tony going to give him the world title especially with okada and osperay coming in 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Heard he got pulled over on the highway. Officer: I saw you swerve.

i'm from Bellingham, Washington, Swerve Strickland is a breath of fresh air! Strickland has fought his way to the top with style, class, toughness and everything it takes to be a future Hall of famer!!!!

I liked him as Killshot from Lucha Underground.

If MJF isnt gonna be healthy imo it should be Will Ospreay vs Swerve for the world belt at wembley

Swerve has definitely come up.

Props to aew for recognizing a great talent. Keep it up, swerve, a great champion, with fresh skills in the ring. Sky's the limit

If I was Tony Khan I would have extended Adam Page vs. Swerve Strickland until Revolution. Swerve Strickland wins at Wrestle Dream, Adam Page wins at Full Gear in a Texas Death match, go to a time limit draw on Dynamite, a triple threat match with MJF at World's End with Swerve Strickland winning, and at Revolution Swerve Strickland retains the title against Adam Page in a Falls Count Anywhere match. He would also hold title until All Out which is a 9 month reign.

Kind of surprising that Swerve has roots in CZW. That promotion is like a more extreme version of ECW.

It's about time you guys highlight some positive things about AEW.Instead of always showing them in a bad light.With all the cover you guys does on WWE.I would swear that this was another WWE shill channel.

It’s really crazy to see Swerve meteor rise to fame cuz just 3 years ago he was on NXT just another guy on the roster now he’s the biggest star on AEW. A former AEW world heavyweight champion the first black world champion of their promotion. He’s a prime example of bet on yourself and just because one thing doesn’t work at one place doesn’t mean it won’t work somewhere else. It’s great to see someone black to be at the top of a wrestling company in an industry that doesn’t normally showcase us like their white counterparts respectfully. It’s a nuance seeing someone like Swerve be pushed to the moon the way that he is and it’s well deserved for sure and refreshing to see. I’m happy to see him prosper in AEW he deserves his flowers to build himself from the ground up and reinvent himself was chefs kiss I hope he continues to succeed and get bigger and better he’s the future of pro wrestling.

Give him the title and let him defend it in All In vs Ospreay. Trust me they will blow the roof off.

After his AEW run, if he returns to WWE he better put him on main roaster instead of NXT all over again.

Swerve is one of my top guys. I think Keith Lee should retire. Hes just been hurt so much the past few years.

Hope he becomes world champion soon already !!

I think he is the best thing AEW has going for it right now

Whose house? Swerves house

Brilliant, the present, and the future an incredible talent

One of my favorite

ADD NEW AND FIRST BLACK AEW WORLD CHAMPION!

I stand with Swerve.

And now he’s the champ

Amazing talent. Awesome, menacing presence. Just hope he doesn't get mistreated

I went to revolution, Definitely worth it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

My friend A.R. Fox had trained Strictland in Georgia. Even Foxx said he is going to be descent alone. He said that he is going to become a good wrestler

I never liked him in WWE but after he came to AEW I loved him so much❤❤❤ who's house 🔥🔥

He will be face of aew

There rivalry is one of the best thing AEW have produce

hes my fav wrestler rn

He was amazing in Lucha Underground as Killshot.

Swerve's charisma and his ability to connect with the audience is crazy. Hopefully, AEW will have him take the gold from Joe & make history in 2024.

I remember watching him just before he signed with WWE when he was wrestling in Defy Wrestling as Shane Strickland and I wanted to shoot him to the top of any company. I'm so happy to see him finally doing what I knew he could be.

Swerve is one example of AEW doing right

Swerve is a real bad ass in or out of ring

Swerves House 👍

Swerve and Max are THE ONLY thing smoking in AEW. They need to put the belt on my boy ASAP

Make part 2 cuz he the champ now

Aj francis lol the cheetos guy, maybe thats what Swerve needs is a heater

Best intro ever 😂😂

Who is House?

He will be AEW World champion bc he made himself undeniable

your retelling of history is sloppy and a lot of details are wrong. other than that good video

He is now Your Neeeewwww AEW World Champion!!!!!

*Whose I like Swerve’s presentation, but wish he was a bit better on the mic. It’s a nitpick, admittedly, because very, very few people feel legitimately natural when cutting promos (I love Eddie Kingston; like Paul Heyman, he slips in and out of character effortlessly and totally believably). But, yeah, Swerve’s got the skill and swag to be a major player, even with as heavily stacked as AEW’s roster is, and I look forward to seeing how far he goes.

i won't lie, first time i saw him wrestle i realised he was a really reallllly good guy in the ring, but not until i saw him fight in Aew did i know that he was hardcore enough, with enough skills to be a world champion. like really, he's that good and s uperstar t y pe.

I can't think of many people who deserve to be champions more than Swerve. The only one who I think deserves a title more is Cody Rhodes in WWE.

at AEW Dynasty Swerve will be the new AEW World Champion 😎🎉🎉

LOLOL He was considered possibly the best wrestler in the world back when he was Shane Strickland and his house was made of some of the greatest death matches ever. This guy was a star, long before fans of today caught on

But hell yeah!!!his heel run was awesome 😂😂😂and too bad Tom Macdonald who wrestled didn't team up with him!!💯💯💯👏👏👏

Hangman and him was crazy
