Swerve Strickland confirms major AEW rumor

Swerve Strickland's first AEW World Championship reign ended after 126 days when he lost to Bryan Danielson at All In 2024. The top star is looking to bounce back with a major victory and has just confirmed an interesting rumor headed into tonight's All Out go-home edition of Dynamite.

The New Flavor and The American Dragon headlined the second annual All In Pay-Per-View from London, in front of a packed Wembley Stadium. Danielson's career was on the line in the 26-minute main event. However, Strickland is now set to do battle with a heated rival at All Out this weekend as he and Adam Page will step inside a Steel Cage for their fifth AEW singles bout.

The Hangman vs. Swerve Steel Cage Match was rumored to be the All Out main event on Saturday. However, Swerve took to X (formerly Twitter) today to react to the rumor. The 13-year industry veteran seemingly confirmed that he will be in the All Out main event.

"ALL IN/ ALL OUT: Main Eventer," Swerve Strickland wrote in response to the rumor.

Strickland defeated Page three times in 2023: WrestleDream in October, Title Tuesday Dynamite nine days later, and a Texas Death Match at Full Gear in November. Their fourth singles bout ended in a thirty-minute time-limit draw this past February on Dynamite.
