Swerve Strickland has set his sights on the AEW World Title for a few reasons, including how Sammy Guevara has treated the TNT Title.
Swerve officially signed with All Elite Wrestling at the Revolution pay-per-view and wants to become the world champion.
In an interview with WhatCulture, Swerve Strickland explains that his ultimate goal is the top prize in AEW.
Strickland said:
“The World Championship, man. I want the top. TNT is great. But I’m always looking for more. That doesn’t take anything away from the TNT Title. But like there’s a lot of wolves around that thing right now.”
When explaining his reasoning, Swerve joked that Sammy Guevara has been too unsanitary with the TNT Championship, referencing to Sammy and Tay Conti’s infamous TNT Title picture.

Swerve explained:
“Also, what Sammy did with the title. I think I’m gonna go for the World Championship. I’m pretty sure Adam Page isn’t doing anything like that. Yeah, that’s the sanitized title, it looks like. So, Adam Page, man, I think he deserves more praise for what he’s doing as champion right now. He’s a brilliant, brilliant in-ring performer. A great human being, young, athletic, great looking guy, poise, charismatic. He brings so much to the title. He was there from day one. He helped build this company and it’s beautiful to see him running with the championship. But with that being said, I want to take it from him.”
Swerve Strickland is currently in a feud with FTW Champion Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs, alongside Keith Lee.
