Samoa Joe vs. Swerve Strickland headlined the AEW Dynasty 2024 pay-per-view event this past Sunday night where Strickland dethroned Joe and became the AEW World Heavyweight Champion .
During a post-show dinner, Chris Jericho gave a speech about the big win. He said,
“We don’t change the titles to the World Title very often unless it’s the absolute right guy. He is the right guy for the job, he’s got the cool X-factor and if I was the big wig in AEW (like I am), I would put you on every other fucking talk show, I’d promote you in every single way because you have what we need which is the ability to cross over in the mainstream and I’m super proud of you, man. I knew you had it since day one.”
