One of the biggest rivalries in AEW is the feud between former World Heavyweight Champion Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page.
While speaking on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, Swerve Strickland reflected on the feud. He mentioned that both he and Adam Page are very similar as their biggest sentiments and values include each other’s families.
“It was a Slinky Effect. It was a… That moment made me a big like brought me up here. And then, my success brought Hangman up again. And now, Hangman’s back up in here and he’s tearing through again and that’s what you want to do. Like the Slinky, you propel each other up by their actions. I don’t never just do an action just for that action alone. There has to… What’s leading and, ‘Okay, here’s the reaction, how do you react… How would we react to that?’ What’s something that’s sentimental to me?
“The Swerve character. Even all that horrible diabolical stuff that I’ve done, there’s still a human in there that still has sentiment and values. And now, Hangman, it took a while, but Hangman found it. And it was my home. Me buying back the home with my success. My success, it brought something else out of Hangman to take that away from me. And now it brings me back into here. It brings me back. Now, what’s sentimental, what was sentimental is fubby because it’s like, the sentimental thing with Hangman was his family, his home, and now we are very similar. Because the sentimental thing for me was my family and my home. Me doing a gesture for my family at home. So, we’re very similar. But we are very opposite at the same time,” Swerve Strickland said.
