Two red-hot stars face off! Swerve Strickland vs Daniel Garcia! | 1/3/24 AEW Dynamite

[@Loswiwi]

Hangman and Swerve should be built as a longtime rivalry in aew for years to come, they have so much chemistry in the ring and in promos

[@北の王子-u8u]

I second this, MJF needs to be the 3rd in thetat rivalry since I always think of Omega, Moxley & Jericho as the Foundational pieces of the Main Event scene, always felt natural to have Hangman and MJF carry the torches off of the former mentioned and Swerve is definitely in the mould.

[@forgottenmma3694]

Nah

[@jeffreyblock16]

Swerve and hangman don’t need a title to fight over, that is the kind of feud you want up and down the card

[@L0rdEsedess]

I wanted to like this but with setting at 69 I didn't want to tarnish it either. But yes having this Fued be set as L.T.B for years to come... Excellent!!!

[@virtuabutch]

Agreed, but was kinda hoping they'd be kept away from each other for awhile.

[@alkian9547]

This is an appreciation post. Best dynamite in a long time. This is what we want. A mix of story lines, entertainment segments and breath taking matches. Please continue this stuff. May be add another women’s match. I felt the continental championship contender match should had a back story behind. May be Eddie could have cut a promo for a challenger to interrupt him and there begins the storyline. Anyways I loved this dynamite episode. The episode felt like 2021 peak aew.

[@SupaDupaMarioVillelli]

Gotta disagree respectfully. Just felt like more of the same mixed booking from tony

[@heyyoitsmebrian]

great ep and think about this ::: no young bucks no omega no jericho, cody rhodes, MJF or moxley and we still got a really good episode.

[@dubguy1121]

Great episode. Seems like they’re building some top guys. As of late it seems like they stopped mentioning competition also (unless I missed it lol). I appreciate when AEW is in it’s own lane. Let’s keep it that way. Big upgrade from the PPV on Saturday which was a bit “meh”

[@heyyoitsmebrian]

[@wstine79]

The road to Swerve Strickland's AEW Championship win begins tonight. Starting with the Triple Crown.

[@Li1ght]

Ummm 3 belts are on the line nd not the AEW title .. I have Switchblade winning that or holding all 3 belts

[@kidz4p509]

I’d rather have Switchblade win. He stole the World Title, despite not being the World Champ at the time, up until MJF reclaimed it at Full Gear. Now, he’s on his way to earn it in a more proper manner. Meanwhile, Swerve broke into Hangman’s house, and got away with it by beating him at Full Gear, and he later participated in the Continental Classic.

[@forgottenmma3694]

He already lost the C2…why chase it. But that would be a good feud

[@thegoat6325]

[@sarfarazhussain5411]

As much as Shane strickland has been running hot, Danny has really grown on AEW fanbase. I am proud of Danny and the kind progress he has shown and i hope Lee Moriarty too has the same momentum. I think time has come for Tony to give Danny the main event storylines.

[@forgottenmma3694]

He sucks. AEW should stop killing the ratings by putting Trent, Garcia and like a few others on my TV. They should put the cool wrestlers on like Mark Briscoe, Rush, Jay White, Brian Cage, and push Jeff Hardy

[@caligulalauren9071]

Respectfully no. That ship sailed. He went from having a damn near perfect match with Daniel Bryan to hip thrusting for no reason. He could’ve been the new Daniel Bryan. Goofy Indy Booking killled him and he needs to go back to dragon jr real quick.

Hopefully AEW will become more serious

One of them needs to be booked as a heel. No excuses.

[@waynehiggins7950]

With Scotty 2 Hotty as judge!

[@BirdGang6]

I mean with MJF out I think that Swerve is AEW’s top guy, the crowd love him, he’s absolutely dynamite in the ring, has a presence that is definitely noticeable, he’ll be World champ at some point this year

[@linkinparkmickyshri]

After 10 years

[@waynehiggins7950]

I kind of hope they hold out on swerve being champ until Adam Cole is fit and champ. That's a match I would prefer over Joe and swerve, as much as I love both.

Elite vs Mogul Embassy could be built up for a Blood and Guts match with very little effort. Hangman and Swerve are great together. I hope to see more later in this year. Hangman could cost Swerve the AEW title to add more fuel to the fire.

[@forgottenmma3694]

Pass

[@ImFreezerBurnCompared2Cool]

Elite? The Bucks already run off enough viewers.. the longer they stay gone, the better. Page desperately needs a heel turn, to revive his character. He’s gone stale. Omega is better off solo. Swerve needs to get away from the Embassy in the near future. The fans aren’t gonna boo him. He’s red hot right now, and the fans love him. He may as well turn face, and go after the world title

[@brandonloveday]

@@ImFreezerBurnCompared2Cool all very valid points. Swerve IS red hot. Bucks are better heels in my opinion. If you don't like em, no problem. I respect them as businessmen. No, they aren't the best wrestlers but they are entertaining to me as whiny jerks.

I love this, let Hangman & Swerve continue to feud. They can both easily be the 2 of the top guys of AEW and this is how you get there, by having guys like Swerve & Hangman tear each other up, because they're both hungry for the ultimate prize. Hangman has already had it once, but now he needs to redeem himself, and this is the way to do so.

[@michaelwilliams3620]

But why? Swerve beat him twice. They had a Texas death match. Why are we continuing this feud almost two months later? The Undisputed Kingdom admitted to taking Page out, yet he goes after Swerve? The dots aren't connecting. But sure let's continue the feud 🥱

[@abarif3008]

Swerve should become champ in about 4-5 months and then have a long reign This could in turn build back Hangman as well who could potentially dethrone him after a length reign (9-12 months atleast) The story is there Hangman has lost to Swerve twice so this could be like a final chance to redeem himself, the chemistry is golden, just need the right execution. Swerve is awesome on the mic (also never separate him from Nana) and Hangman has also come leaps and bounds on his mic work Book it Tony!
