AEW Prematurely Announced Swerve Strickland’s New Deal

Swerve Strickland has been making a notable impact in AEW with his impressive wrestling skills and strong presence. He recently signed a new contract with the company, but it appears that AEW announced the deal before it was officially finalized.

During the Zero Hour pre-show at AEW All In, it was revealed that Swerve Strickland had signed contract extension with AEW. The announcement was made in a segment where Strickland, alongside Prince Nana and Tony Khan, was seen signing the new deal.

It was later reported that Swerve Strickland’s new multi-year contract with AEW will keep him with the company until at least 2028, although the exact duration has not been publicly disclosed. This deal is considered one of the most significant in AEW’s history.

While speaking during a Q&A session on Fightful Select, Sean Ross Sapp reported that AEW announced Swerve Strickland’s contract before it was officially signed and that the deal was finalized shortly after the announcement.

“I was told that the Swerve contract was not signed when they announced it but then it was finalized right after that.”

Reports also suggest that WWE views Swerve Strickland’s contract as bad for business. Nevertheless, Swerve Strickland is one of the biggest stars in the company and many feel he deserves such a contract and that’s all that matters to him.
