Swerve Strickland Planning To Evolve Character For AEW WrestleDream Return

WrestleDream on October 12 will feature the return of Swerve Strickland, with Swerve having been absent from All Elite Wrestling since All Out on September 7.

Whilst no details have been revealed as to the nature of Strickland’s return in his hometown of Tacoma, Washington, the former AEW World Champion did reveal that he’d be evolving his character for this next phase of his run, saying the following to O’Shea Jackson Jr. and TJ Jefferson on No Contest Wrestling:

"You can always expect the next evolution of me with the subtleties. Maybe my hair is different. Maybe my look is different. Something is different. You'll feel something different in the air. That's something I always love bringing to the table. You don't know what to expect, and that's the beauty of it and the beauty of who I am and what I offer. Even Tony Khan doesn't know what to expect. He just goes, 'Show up to work and here is what you got.' He trusts and he knows I can make it happen. That's the imprint I have on the show right now. I love it and I worked really hard to gain that. I was patient, I took a long time, and I didn't rush into it. Let's see how the landscape takes course and I will find my way and adapt into that. Now, people are anticipating a return of who I am, what I have to bring and what's different, what's new, and what old things I'm going to address,” said Strickland.

Whatever Strickland does or how he presents himself at WrestleDream, he will surely be watched closely by MVP and Shelton Benjamin, with the latest AEW signings looking to do ‘business’ with ‘The Realest’.
