In a conversation with Barstool Rasslin, Swerve Strickland mentioned that he is currently in “a renegotiation stage” with AEW.
Strickland is now just hours away from defending his title against Bryan Danielson in the main event of today’s All In event.
“I’ve always said me winning the AEW World Championship was phase two. That was the beginning of phase two of my career. Right now, I’m in the midst of like a renegotiation stage because I’m really enjoying my status here in AEW, I’m enjoying everything about the locker room, the roster, the talent, the promotion. I love the fact that I’m a really big part of building the company to different revenue, different avenues and things like that, as far as AEW. So that’s going to be the beginning of phase three of my career, and this is truly just the beginning of what’s about to happen for me, not just the wrestling side but everything altogether as a performer.”
Strickland confirmed during the All In pre-show that he had re-signed.
