Swerve Strickland Vs. Ricochet has quickly become one of the most personal rivalries playing out in AEW, and now their issues have extended past Tony Khan’s promotion. At the latest DEFY Wrestling event, Swerve Strickland’s theme song played, only for Ricochet to emerge instead.
Ricochet was hit with a “You are bald” chant and when the fans chanted for Strickland, Ricochet claimed that Swerve wasn’t at the show. That claim proved premature as the lights would go out and when they came back on, Swerve was in the ring. The former AEW World Champion was met with a monstrous pop from the crowd and wasted no time in brawling with Ricochet.
Strickland attempted the House Call but a poke to the eye allowed Ricochet to escape. Prince Nana emerged to throw Ricochet back in the ring. There, Strickland hit the House Call and Ricochet would later leave after shoving Nana.
Ricochet In The Hurt Syndicate: Could It Happen?
Ricochet defeated Strickland on this week’s Dynamite, though its clear the issues between the pair are far from over. With high-profile events including Grand Slam: Australia and Revolution approaching, fans could soon be seeing the pair do battle on AEW programming again very soon.
