AEW Champion Swerve Strickland Dismisses Backstage Drama Rumors, Claims Locker Room Unity

AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland has addressed the ongoing rumors of backstage drama in the company. In a recent interview, Strickland stated that the AEW locker room is united as they approach their biggest weekend of the year. He suggested that much of the reported drama on social media is exaggerated and possibly planned.

Strickland pointed out that while rumors seem to surface frequently, there have been long periods without any reported issues. He believes these stories are strategically timed, often appearing before major pay-per-view events or significant moments for the company.

The champion acknowledged that dealing with such rumors is part of being an alternative wrestling promotion. Despite having to defend against these stories, Strickland emphasized that AEW continues to produce quality shows and attract talent. He remains positive about his role as a face of the growing company.

Strickland’s comments suggest that the reported backstage issues may not accurately reflect the reality within AEW, and that the company remains focused on delivering great wrestling content to its fans.
