AEW World Heavyweight Champion Samoa Joe vs. Swerve Strickland will headline the AEW Dynasty 2024 pay-per-view event this Sunday night.
During the Dynasty media call, AEW President Tony Khan spoke about Strickland’s appeal with fans ahead of the show.
“He gets great receptions everywhere we go. Whenever the music plays and the question comes out, ‘Whose house?’, everybody in the crowd always screams out ‘Swerve’s House.’ People love Swerve. I think he’s got fans all over the world. Potentially, it could be a great milestone for AEW if Swerve was to become the first-ever African American AEW World Champion. He’s already been a great World Tag Team Champion in AEW. He’s a great part of the company.”
