At the AEW All In 2025 ticket on-sale event, Swerve Strickland sat down with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp. In their conversation, Strickland explored the reasons why his personal stories connect so deeply with the AEW fanbase.

“But that’s kind of cool though, something made people stop doing what they were doing. Oh, man, it’s me tapping into my childlike wonder and just letting it take its course, put form, put air into this balloon. The best thing is Tony’s been allowing me to just like, let’s try it. Has it always worked?No, but it doesn’t mean you stop doing it. That’s television. There’s seasons and episodes of great shows that haven’t worked. But then you get back on track and you figure it out and you get right back to creating more magic. So for me it’s just like, ‘Let’s see what else I cantap into.’ Then there’s also things that are just genuine to me. Like people like, you can’t take certain things on television and put it on another character because it just doesn’t work. It’s solely between these two characters, myself and Hangman, that only works between them two. That’s what makes it and myself genuine to the audience in my opinion.”
