Swerve Strickland reveals the biggest difference for him between WWE and AEW

While speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland revealed the biggest difference for him between WWE and AEW…

“TV time, that’s an investment. Tony Khan gave me that. He gave me that with top talent. Top tag team talent. Top managerial talent. Rick Ross. Everywhere, all throughout the show. That’s what everyone wants, and Tony Khan offered that to me. When you don’t get that, it crushes your spirit. I could ask for a minute in a promo, and Tony would give it to me. That means more than people will ever know.”

Swerve also said the following about his AEW title reign thus far…

“I pay attention to what everybody else is doing, but I don’t focus on it. My focus is being as unique and true to me as possible. I have to be true to me. That’s what allows me to stand out in a different way. And you don’t know what’s going to come next. That’s what is helping define my title reign. It feels very genuine, too. This feels like the alternative, and that was the whole point in the first place. That’s what this is.”
