Swerve Strickland will not be in the upcoming Super Strong Style 16 tournament, but Johnny Progress will.
PROGRESS Wrestling announced via Twitter that despite Swerve Strickland being advertised in the past, the AEW star won't be able to appear for the Super Strong Style tournament that the promotion runs annually. Instead, Johnny Progress (John Morrison) will be making his promotional debut and will entering the upcoming tournament.
To make up from his absence, Strickland will be appearing at PROGRESS' Chapter 136 event on July 24th.
