Former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland seemingly responds to MVP’s offer
Former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland seemingly answered MVP's recent proposal from Dynamite: Grand Slam. The latter made his appearance in the Tony Khan-led promotion at the show. Following his debut, it was reported that MVP signed with All Elite Wrestling after leaving WWE in August 2024.
The Realest star signed with AEW in 2022 and has made his way to the top of the mountain gradually. His hard work paid off when he captured the AEW World Championship at Dynasty 2024 and had an incredible four-month title reign. He lost the title to Bryan Danielson in the main event of All In pay-per-view.
Following the magnificent bout, he faced Hangman Page at All Out in the Lights Out Steel Cage match. This brutal match saw both stars trying to end each other with different weapons, and Swerve lost. At the recent edition of Dynamite, Swerve's on-screen manager, Prince Nana, revealed that Strickland was not medically cleared to compete, and that's when the former WWE Superstar MVP made his massive debut.
In no time, the 50-year-old star called out Prince for his poor management skills. The former claimed that Swerve Strickland could thrive better under his guidance and presented the former AEW World Champion with his offer to join him. The latter recently took to X/Twitter and potentially answered MVP's offer. He picked Prince Nana's side by sharing a photo of the two.

The Realest star has been absent since the All Out pay-per-view. He lost to Hangman Page and was reportedly slated to take a hiatus.
Strickland recently posted an Instagram clip of himself working out in the gym. He also shared a three-word message along with the video, seemingly teasing a comeback.
"Back to form," he wrote.
It will be interesting to see where the Swerve Strickland-MVP saga goes from here, as the story has a lot of layers. Also, it remains to be seen if the former world champion gets featured at WrestleDream, as it is held in its hometown.
