Swerve Strickland Compares His Next Steps As AEW Champion To Figuring Out A Rubik’s Cube

Swerve Strickland just recently became AEW World Champion, but he’s already thinking about what’s coming next.

All Elite Wrestling’s Swerve Strickland recently sat down with Raj Prashad of UPROXX. When asked what his next steps are as AEW World Champion, Strickland said it’s a challenge comparable to that of a Rubik’s cube.

“It’s a Rubik’s cube that never stops moving around,” Swerve Strickland said. “Once you figure out one side, you got to try to figure out the other side. And so it’s honestly just keeping a hand on the pulse of not just the wrestling world, but the world itself. Being on top of those things and trying to be just more cutting edge as much as we can be, but also stick to a lot of traditional things in wrestling, staying true to that as well.

“And then there’s integration that comes into play with that kind of stuff. Activations taking our wrestling world outside of our wrestling bubble into other different worlds. I feel like I’m one of the people that can really bridge that together to go into the new era of AEW wrestling.”
