Swerve Strickland was recently asked about his relationship with a certain WWE Hall of Famer. He revealed that nothing has changed and that they remain not on talking terms.
The former AEW World Champion has been vocal about his beef with Booker T after they have had clashes of opinions on multiple occasions. There even came one moment a few years ago where Swerve grabbed a microphone and expressed his disdain of the legend in front of a live crowd as soon as their show went off-air.
While speaking on the Bootleg Kev podcast, Swerve Strickland was asked if he had already squashed his beef with the WWE Hall of Famer. He revealed that this has yet to happen, but he has run into him on three flights already.
“We’ve been on like three flights since.”
He was asked whether they had interacted in these moments, but Swerve revealed that at most they had eye contact and sat in close proximity to one another at times.
“No. He looks at me every time. He goes and gets on the flight—I’m like… and then we sit right next—like I was in the aisle, he’s over there. I’m like [waving hand gesture]—nothing. No.” [H/T RSN]
Swerve Strickland claims those within AEW want the New Day onboard
During the same interview, The Mogul was asked about the possibility of Kofi and Austin Creed becoming All-Elite following their WWE release.
He revealed that a lot of wrestlers want them to be signed. He mentioned how now the ball was in their court and they were in control of their own career.
“There’s a lot of wrestlers that want to see them end up in AEW. They’re in high spirits, they’re motivated, they’re happy. They have the ball in their court and they honestly feel like they can control their own narrative, and Xavier is really good at that. Kofi is walking [as a] free agent for the first time in his whole career. He was a Hall of Famer like 5-6 years ago.”- H/T Drainmaker on X
