Last week, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T said he was “disappointed” in Swerve Strickland and felt that Swerve “got played” by media outlet Vlad TV. Booker T said the following…

“I don’t know if these guys think racism stopped in 1990 when I got in the business, but it didn’t. You may not hear about a lot of racial issues with Booker T because I handled racial issues handfirst. I opened doors, I broke down barriers for people like Swerve Strickland. Swerve Strickland would perhaps not even be here if it wasn’t for me.”

After the 2025 AEW Dynasty PPV event went off the air, Swerve gave a speech to fans in attendance…

“When I talk about representation I mean it ever single fucking time I speak on it. In one year, this kid right here who you supported for the last 12-13 years — in one year, five main event PPVs for Swerve Strickland. I don’t just speak about representation, I go out there and prove the fucking thing. And I only made it this far because of you people right here, chanting who’s house? … Thank you all for being here, thank y’all for the merchandise, get home safely, and one last thing, just for my amusement — “F*ck Booker T.” (quote courtesy of CagesideSeats.com)
