Tony Khan Explains What Would It Mean For Swerve Strickland To Win The AEW World Title

This Sunday at the inaugural AEW Dynasty pay-per-view, Swerve Strickland will wrestle Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship. Recently, Tony Khan shared what it would mean for the Jacksonville-based promotion if Strickland wins the AEW Championship.

During his recent interview with the Battleground Podcast, AEW President Tony Khan mentioned that if Strickland captures the World Title, it will be a huge milestone for him and the Jacksonville-based promotion.

“Well potentially, that would be a huge milestone in the history of AEW and the career of Swerve Strickland. He’s got a huge opportunity and we’ll hear from both Samoa Joe and Swerve tonight on TBS ahead of the big championship fight on Sunday at Dynasty. And I’m sure they’re both gonna have a lot to say about it. So, it would mean the world to AEW. It would be a huge milestone. And I think it would mean a ton, I think it would mean so much in the career of Swerve Strickland. It would be certainly the highlight of his career so far as a big rising star in wrestling. He gets great receptions everywhere we go.

“Whenever the music plays and the question comes out, ‘Whose house?’ Everybody in the crowd always screams out Swerve’s House. People love Swerve. I think he’s got fans all over the world. And potentially it could be a great milestone for AEW if Swerve was to become the first-ever African American AEW World Champion. He’s already been a great World Tag Team Champion in AEW. He’s a great part of the company. It would be a huge milestone and I know it would mean a lot to Swerve and as for what that could potentially mean, I think he’ll have a lot more to say tonight on TBS,” Tony Khan said.
