Swerve Strickland addresses his feud with Keith Lee in AEW not having a definitive conclusion

Leading up to the 2023 AEW Full Gear PPV event, Swerve Strickland did an interview with WrestlePurists.com and here are the highlights…

His character direction: “Seeing the rise and the descent into madness of my character role and know that Sting has put me in a coffin at All In in front of 80,000 people, that should have some type of mental affect on someone. You don’t want something like that to just go lost, y’know? Thats when I was like ‘okay, I been in a coffin for a week and a half, that would do something to anybody. Some people were like ‘Swerve should win’, like, no, Swerve should be affected. This is a transition of a man’s mental, like it was already on the brink with going to Nick Wayne’s house and assaulting him at the wrestling school. So you already seen what I was capable of at my own free will. Now, seeing someone break me with Darby Allin & Sting in front of that many people, the biggest anticipation and the biggest creative way to come out of that is ‘who is gonna be my first victim coming out of that? Who’s gonna be the first person to truly feel the wrath of what my transition we gonna be, and it was Hangman Page.”
