Samoa Joe claims Swerve Strickland is not ready for him
Swerve Strickland defeated Konosuke Takeshita to become number 1 contender for the AEW World Championship several weeks ago. Later, Samoa Joe sent a message to him.
Speaking in a backstage interview with Renne Paquette, the AEW World Champion revealed that Swerve wasn't ready for the Samoan Submission machine.
"You know, it's baffling to me how he is feeling right now. This is a man celebrating the biggest fate he is ever going catch in his life, and next week, Swerve, when you walk down to that ring and you sign at that dotted line, I'm gonna make sure that you understand what you're asking for. You think you're ready? No... no, you're not that man," he said.
Only time will who would walk out as the AEW World Champion from AEW Dynasty.
