Swerve Strickland Drops F-Bomb on Booker T After AEW Dynasty Loss

Swerve Strickland didn’t walk out of AEW Dynasty as World Champion—but he did leave with one last jab, and it wasn’t directed at Jon Moxley.

After the cameras stopped rolling, Swerve grabbed the mic in front of a fired-up Philadelphia crowd and delivered a direct shot at WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, saying, “Fuck Booker T.”

The unexpected diss came just moments after Strickland failed to capture the AEW World Title in the main event against Moxley. While the loss stung, Swerve made it clear he still had something to say—and that message was personal.

This public shot stems from Booker T’s past criticism of Swerve’s marketability. On a previous episode of VladTV, Swerve responded to Booker’s commentary by defending his impact and presence in AEW. That interview added more fuel to an already tense back-and-forth.

Booker T didn’t waste time clapping back. On the newest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, the five-time WCW Champion fired back at Swerve’s post-show mic drop. While not all of Booker’s comments were quoted in full, his tone made one thing clear—this feud isn’t just about wrestling philosophy. It’s about respect.

And all of this comes as Booker T is still deep in another social media battle with DJ Vlad, trading receipts about a VladTV interview Booker claims he turned down, while Vlad insists Booker was at the studio and stormed out when Vlad arrived late.

Now, between the DJ Vlad beef and this escalating drama with Swerve Strickland, Booker T has found himself back in headlines—for better or worse.
