AEW Star Swerve Strickland Buys Childhood Home After Signing Lucrative Contract Extension
Swerve Strickland, despite losing the AEW World Championship to Bryan Danielson at AEW All In, has achieved a significant personal milestone. He recently signed a multi-year extension with AEW, making him one of the highest-paid wrestlers in the company. This new contract enabled Strickland to fulfill a lifelong dream by purchasing his childhood home.
In a social media video, Strickland shared the emotional significance of this acquisition. He explained that his family had been evicted from this house when he was a teenager, and he had vowed to become successful enough to buy it back one day. With the help of his manager Prince Nana and his new AEW deal, Strickland has now accomplished this goal, marking a full-circle moment in his life and career.
However, this personal triumph has raised concerns among some fans regarding Strickland’s ongoing rivalry with “Hangman” Adam Page. Given that Strickland previously broke into Page’s home as part of their feud, some speculate that Page might seek revenge by targeting Strickland’s newly acquired property. The two wrestlers are set to face each other in a steel cage match at the upcoming AEW All Out event, adding to the tension surrounding their rivalry.
