Top AEW star Swerve Strickland spoke with The Rich Eisen Showโs T.J. Jefferson on a number of topics, including his initial thoughts when signing with the company.
Strickland said, โOpportunity and time. All the possibilities that could go on here, like Iโm rewarded that, Iโm forwarded the opportunity, and thatโs all Iโve ever needed. Thatโs all Iโve ever been given, just an opportunity, you know? I work my way up from the bottom, I donโt care. Put me in battle royals, Iโll lose them all, I donโt care, just give me the opportunity to show out.โ
On wanting the opportunity to shine:
โGive me the opportunity to be like, โHey, can I get a minute of TV time right here in this spot?โ โAbsolutely.โ โOkay, Iโm going to make something matter.โ Thatโs something that you just canโt ask for anywhere else.โ
