Swerve Strickland is a bad BAD man.
The AEW superstar and leader of the Mogul Embassy was victorious on last night’s Dynamite, where he defeated a debuting Nick Wayne. The 18-year-old prodigy’s debut was highly anticipated after AEW ran a video package that was put together by Darby Allin, one that showed his incredible journey toward becoming a pro-wrestler.
Despite an incredible performance that had the live crowd chanting his name, Wayne was unable to best Swerve, who stomped Wayne’s shoulder out of the socket before finishing him with a JML driver. Now the former tag champion has taken to Twitter to rub the victory in Wayne and Allin’s face. He writes:
“I said you were entering a man’s world, you didn’t listen. I told you I was gonna test you, and you failed. I said I would break you…………… and I did”
Wayne may have lost, but AEW President Tony Khan announced after the match that he was officially All Elite. You can read about that here.
