Swerve Strickland Says He Suffered Minor Injury At AEW Revolution

AEW star Swerve Strickland noted that he suffered an injury during his match with Ricochet at Revolution.

At the post-show press conference, the former AEW World Champion asked for the media to speak up as he was dealing with a ruptured eardrum.

Swerve may have come out of the pay-per-view feeling worse for wear, but he was successful in his match against Ricochet and is now the number-one contender for the AEW World Title. You can find full results for AEW Revolution 2025 here.

At the end of the show, Strickland delivered a Swerve Stomp off a balcony onto Jon Moxley and a team of security. Moxley had successfully defended his AEW World Title against Cope in the main event, making Christian Cage pass out after Cage had inserted himself into the match via his cash-in contract.

It is unknown if Swerve will miss any ring time due to the injury. A perforated eardrum typically heals on its own within three to six weeks, though in more severe cases it can take months to fully heal after the initial rupture.
