Swerve Strickland says he accomplished a lifelong goal.
AEW shared a video in which Swerve Strickland discussed purchasing back his childhood home with the help of Prince Nana. In the video, Strickland highlighted his journey up to this point and recalled how he grew up a “military brat.” He said that his family found a home when they returned to the United States, and it meant a lot to him.
Strickland recalled some of the key memories and experiences that he had at the house. He opened up about how his family fell on hard times, and they sometimes struggled to pay the bills. Strickland said the property got foreclosed on, and they couldn’t get it back, so they had to move out. He brought up the tearful look on his mom’s face on that day. Strickland said he promised himself that he would work hard so he could buy the property back. He then announced that he was finally able to do that with the bonus money he received with his new AEW contract.
Strickland stated that Prince Nana helped him make it happen, and they got the property back. He thanked Nana, and they hugged.
In a tweet, Strickland commented on the news by calling it a lifelong goal.
Strickland, a former AEW World Champion, is set to face Hangman Page in a Steel Cage Match at AEW All Out.
