Tony Schiavone talks Swerve Strickland's AEW Championship win.
Strickland finally fulfilled his destiny at AEW Dynasty, as he defeated Samoa Joe to win the AEW World Championship. Many fans had been clamoring for Strickland to win the title since his popularity began to rise back in 2023.
While speaking on the latest episode of What Happened When, Schiavone talked about Strickland's title win, noting that it was well deserved.
“I think it’s well-deserved. Swerve is not only a great performer, but he is a wonderful young man. If anybody deserves getting the run, being a champion, it’s him, and I’m very, very happy for him. I have a lot of time for him. Of course, I worked with him in MLW for a bit, so I knew Swerve before we all came into AEW, and I was really excited when we brought him in. So yeah, good job, Swerve. I hope it’s a good, long title run."
Elsewhere in the podcast, Schiavone shared his thoughts on the rise of Will Ospreay. Learn more here.
