– After his hard-fought main event loss to Ricochet on AEW Dynamite on Wednesday night in Atlanta, Georgia, Swerve Strickland was still recovering in the ring when Max Caster’s music hit. Caster wasted no time, offering “Swervey” a chance to shake off the defeat by accepting his open challenge. Swerve responded decisively—delivering a brutal headbutt and making quick work of Caster. With the ring cleared, Prince Nana stepped in to formally introduce Swerve. Addressing the crowd, Swerve acknowledged the significance of his loss, marking his first pin fall defeat since 2023. “And I had to get hit in the nuts to do it,” he quipped. Despite the setback, he made it clear that he would eventually get his hands on “Trevor” when the time was right. Swerve took a moment to express his appreciation for Prince Nana, calling him both a manager and a trusted confidant. He then vowed to reclaim his family’s legacy—his prized robe—stating that wearing it had always been a source of pride. With conviction, he declared, “We will not let you down, Nana, and we won’t let the late, great Jimmy Race down either.”
