Swerve Strickland is very proud of his Forbidden Door main event against Will Ospreay.
AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland recently sat down with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated. When asked about his main event match at Forbidden Door against Will Ospreay, Strickland spoke about how proud he was of the story they told in that match.
“I’m proud of the story we told in that match,” Swerve Strickland said. “It was a perfect whirlwind. It was Will’s first main event pay-per-view in AEW, fans were waiting for it, and people didn’t know who was going to win. Was it Swerve’s time?
“Or was Will going to keep riding his hot streak and win the title? That’s a match we’ve wanted for a long time, and the timing was right. We weren’t waiting, we wanted this moment. We wanted to see the best–the International champ against the world champ. It was two forces facing off–the two best going at it.”
Strickland is scheduled to appear tonight on AEW Dynamite. This will be his first appearance since his match with Ospreay at Forbidden Door.
