Love It CVVCLIPS Bro.
He'd be the first black and first gay AEW world champ
He is the only one who has the right to dethrone MJF. He is the one who earned it. He is the future of AEW.
Christian should be the next champion imo, he's better than Swerve
@@josemedina1805😂 what are serious 😅😅 did you see his body 😅😅
@@josemedina1805 I understand that sentiment. Christian Cage has been outshining 90% of the roster. With that said, he's nearly 50, and the Word Title should go to those who can become long term investments. What he's doing with the TNT title picture right now suits him. In all honesty, I wish they would make his segments collision only so that they can make the TNT title the top prize for collision giving people a reason to watch collision.
@@jharmo2 Minus a handful, the younger guys all are very mid and vanilla, tho. Darby Allin is probably the only young guy who should realistically win the belt right now. Jericho was the first champion, and even though it was to get eyes on the product, they chose him as champion for a reason. He was good, and the other guys weren't as good as him, the same applies to Christian right now.
But I guess the TNT championship makes it make sense, not too bad in that context. But if he loses the title to Edge, he should 100% be the company's champ. I have a feeling MJF will continue to be champion after however long Edge and Christian feud.
@@josemedina1805 Darby is great but he is preparing to retire Sting so I don't see him chasing gold until after that's done. I would disagree with the idea that Swerve is vanilla or mid. He can cut a promo, he is solid in the ring, his song gets the crowd hyped, he carries himself well, and he has been working his way up the card for over a year. I think it's fair to say Swerve earned it. I put them over any of the New Japan talent that TK has been signing.
I didn’t like him in wwe when he was in Nxt but this version of him has got me on board he’s finally proving himself storytelling makes superstars and superstars win championships
been a fan since i learned about him in Lucha Underground as Killshot
I loved the build with this feud but I didn’t actually realise how layered the build is. Hangman being helpless watching Swerve go into his home and repaying it by attacking Nana in front of Swerve is so so good.
It truly felt like Hangman got just as sick and twisted and Swerve by the end. The match showed that so well. I love the Death Match. Incredible visuals, brutal spots, fantastic payoff. Hangman has had a low-key good year with the Moxley feud and the Swerve feud
Let this man, win that AEW World Championship!
The moment i saw him i knew he would be a megastar 🔥
When was that? When he was Killshot? Because he was awesome!
@@hyperchord Well when i saw him in NXT but i didn’t really connect with him then, but when i had seen him in AEW i was instantly hooked.
AEW WORLD CHAMPION SWERVE STRICKLAND !!!
I hope he does it too. He's so entertaining and is so talented and should move into the main event scene and dominate it.
We need more gays on the main event scene and i'm glad swerve is leading the way
And he shall be our FIRST Black AEW World Champion. 👑✊🏽
And our FIRST Gay AEW World Champion. he deserve all the accolades
@@rustcohle6149 We don’t need no more of them. 🙅🏽♂️
I think we'll look back at this Hangman feud as the turning point of his stardom. Hangman put over big time, says a lot about him.
Dam hes pretty humble in real life is heel or face.
Oh damn I've never thought of it first black aew champion. Well Jade was first tbs blk champion. Swerve is dope im all onboard.
He does have all the things thats required
•charismatic? Check
•not short? Check
•has a character? Check
•can talk? Check
• can move well? Cehck
He going to be...(yes im speaking to existing)
Honestly, this would definitely be the right move. Swerve honestly would be a different take on a World Champ, but the right take on it…I can see when he commits to a character or persona…he goes in all the way. He could play this sadistic boss world champ for sure…there’s a lot I could say on Swerve but I just know without a doubt that this man will be a world champion…hell, even a multi time champ and will put AEW on his back
Build Swerve up more over the year and give him the title at All In in front of a big crowd. He's earnt that!
Incredible wrestler. Truly just keeps getting better and better.
Indeed he needs to be.. Well Done on #AEW for elevating Swerve.
Time and patience and a well-laid storyline will lead swerve to the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, we all have to sit back and watch the story unfold in front of us each week till that day comes.
I wouldn't be against Swerve as the first black AEW world champion or ROH world champion.
He deserved it after years in the business and for the risky spot (in more ways than one) from Hangman Adam Page a few weeks ago. 😢
I'm inspired AH! You will be the first Black AEW Champion, and I will work myself off to be the First Black Male Ring Announcer !
Don't forget he will also be the first Gay AWE World Champ.
@@rustcohle6149 is He? Well, who cares? Ahah. Anthony Bowens is Black, Gay and a Champion also... Bro it might not integrate some beliefs, but whatever People do in their Bedroom is their Business. Lets just enjoy Wrestling 🙌🏾
@@biig_silva yea but the black thing was brought up and all vulnerable communities should be represented.
@@rustcohle6149 Brother, You're confusing me. Why is it an issue? Lots of Black Wrestlers, very few World Champions. Is it an issue for You on some way? 🤔
@@biig_silva Lots of gay wrestlers and zero World Champs, blacks just always think them and only them get special treatment
"History maker" is a seriously DOPE nickname for him.
He absolutely should be!
It NEEDS TO HAPPEN!
Yes yes yes please
Once the crowd cheers or boo’s you then you are over 🔥
Who's back here after Swerve won the title! New Black AEW heavyweight champion! 🎉
And he will be ! Swerves house❤
Swerve deserves to be champ, he just has IT.
I like Swerve and Hangman so this feud has been quite enjoyable
He will
Swerve always been in my favor he's just to damn good he deserves to be the next and first black aew champion
Oh it's for sure happening now. PR move
Their feud made me like Hangman
People was saying swerve had beef with
Carmelo
I see this happening for you bro
Always excited to see what Strickland does next I don't even think we have seen him hit his peak yet like Chris said the payoff is going to be great
I want it!
He has a quality to be the champion. Tony doesn't have the quality to book him as one.
If tony khan is smart he would strapped the rocket to swerve back rn he has everything you need and want in a star
Before him and Keith Lee became a tag team, i spoke into existence that he'd become a champion.
But he hasn't yet
@agentcodybanx8909 I know that I spoke into existence that he will became champion before him and Keith Lee was a tag team
@@RightHandKam you haven't spoken it into existence because he's currently not a champion
@agentcodybanx8909 I know that he's not champion right now. Are you even reading what I'm saying completely. I said before Swerve and Keith Lee became a tag team. Swerve will be champ one day. So what if I didn't do it on here, that doesn't matter. I said those words when he was a singles competitor
@@RightHandKam Are YOU even reading and listening to yourself? You sounds dumb. You didn't will anything into existence. You're not involved in his career AT ALL. You're some fan. He's not a champion yet. We don't care what you randomly said to yourself watching AEW. Shut up.
The first he act like that title has legacy behind it
That's what's up, I like it when my melanated brothas, and sistas, get to shine✊🏿
Nope , it's for Scorpio Sky first 🤞 I rather see lol
Hes right he backs it all up..if you say your the best without the skill your just Cm Punk
And Neeeewwww !!!!
WHOOOOOS HOUSE?
I mean, I wasnt exactly wild about him when he was an up and comer, but, Id say at this point, why shouldnt he be the one to make history and dethrone MJF? out of all the newer guys in AEW, he has truly lived up to his potential....
And we still don’t have a swerve action figure what the fuck AEW
MAN, I’M SICK OF SEEING SWERVE NOT GETTING WHAT HE DESERVED PUT THE TITLE ON THIS MAN!!!
I think they have always held him back because of his sexual identify and participation with the LGBTIQQ community.
Punk already did that
I didn’t like the adding race, but I understand where he is coming from and that was never a factor in the feud.
The reason now I don’t like it was if he does win, people will flip it and say he won it for the race reason. Again, understand where he is coming from
I didn't like the adding race if he is going to leave out his lgbtq lifestyle. I think being the first Gay AEW World Champ deservessome mention from him
1. He will be the first black champion of AEW
2. There’s not many black wrestlers over there that are any good outside of him Keith Lee who’s on a decline and Hobbs who’s stagnate
3. Even in a company that started in 2019, they still went thru their first era (bout 5 yrs) without having at least one black world champion.
Now that I think about it Jade and The Acclaimed are the only black stars that have held titles at all, if I’m not mistaken?
Ricky Starks, Athena (if you count ROH), Scorpio Sky and Nyla Rose.
@@aallen9287 not counting RoH but I stand corrected
Swerve and Keith Lee were the tag team acclaimed beat for the tag titles
@@melmcallister6293 , I can't believe I forgot to include them on my list!!!
@@aallen9287 Nyla Rose is not black, not a woman and not a good wrestler.
Between Swerve will Ospreay after MJF
I hope he does but historically speaking for wrestlers that look like swerve……. “Just give it time” “it’s just not not time” “the timing has to be right “ lmao
Swerve is so on point about the over saturation of strong style wrestling. I love that style as much as the next guy but when everyone is doing those chop spots in every match it kind of loses its appeal
Oh....yeah because Scorpio sky was TNT champ.....that's right they did that corny thing with belt names....I say corny but it was coo
Chris Jericho invented beeing a black AEW Champion
He should be tbh
Swerve Strickland, Power House Hobbs , Ricky Starks & Keith Lee are AEW's best black stars that are worthy of becoming AEW World champions .
Ricky Starks needs to be in that conversation.
@@aallen9287 Right you are he's in this conversation now 😃👍🏽
But starks is probably leaving as soon as his contract is up
@@adrianpickel1482 If he's smart he builds his stock (brand) by getting a better contract ( more money) & a couple of AEW World championship reigns like MJF is doing if he was to ever really leave AEW for WWE .
@@adrianpickel1482 He'll take Carmelo Hayes's spot 'cause he's more charismatic has got better mic & better in ring move set/style. Power House Hobbs & Swerve Stricland are the other 2 WWE need to keep their eyes on.
Loved him as shane, hated Isaiah scott. Think he decent as swerve
That's insane no aew black champ it's being 4 years lmao 😂😂😂 it's not like it's wwes level
He's acting like there was this long lineage of non black world champions in AEW😅 but i feel him tho. We're never exactly first in line
Also no Gay champ. It's crazy but i'm glad Swerve is on the cusp because then we will have our first black and Gay World Champ
Sorry to burst your bubble Swerve, but the first black AEW champion will be Malakai Black.
He should dethrone MJF. But they trying to keep up with Roman reigns in Wwe
No they dont. They just show wwe how a real glorious title reign looks. Mjf is delivering banger after banger, hes in different storylines while doesnt even show up lmao
@@djchillout91 I agree roman is trashy on run
This is just silliness on super saiyan level. Prince Nana does nothing, all he do is dance. He doesn't distract the ref or get involved with the match or get on the mic and talk ever. He isn't helpful at all.
Me: I am Asian and want to be a wrestler (Chinese and Japanese)
buried, lol 😵
Naaah homie, you can make it. I believe in you bruh, you can be World Champ. Just work hard, and your God given talents will shine through for real. Age don't mean anything either...look at Knight lol
I’m so sick of everything being about race 🙄🥱 Just say u wanna be World Champion, damn!
There have been very few world champions that have been black and successful, while Kofi Kingston beat Daniel Bryan for the title at Mania, he lost to Lesnar in less than 10 seconds, Big E was never booked strongly, etc etc. So while "you" may not want everything to be about race, he has every reason to bring it up, and want to be the exception to many black world champions who have had underwhelming reigns.
@@thereelpineappleI wish they were black so they could understand
Im so sick of you pretending everything isnt about race dumazz!
It's so easy to dismiss race in a white-dominated profession like professional wrestling when you're white yourself.
If you don't understand the significance of a BLACK man like Swerve aspiring to become the first BLACK world champion of a major professional wrestling organization, you're either ignorant or racist.
It's not about race it's about culture I guess
So he should be champion just because he's Black 😂😂😂
You obviously don't get it.
@@PlusUltraAdrianget what
He'll be alright. MJF is our champion for a reason. Build charisma and then you can be face. Until then, don't use race as a push to get you to the top.
Maxwell leaving luh bro
He never has and isnt using race as a push to get him to the top dumazz, he's always used charisma and can easily be a face and first Black Champ.
@@pilot8220 so what's this video dummy 😂 it's pushing a narrative for him to be champion. The first BLACK champion
@@yurp7643 where lol
He has charisma and is super over with the crowd. And he's not using race as a push to get to the top. All he's saying is that he wants to make history. How hard is that to understand?
Who doesnt wanna be the champion of a flailing company. Its like bragging to be champ of tna.
