Swerve Strickland vs. Brody King official for AEW Revolution
A grudge match challenge from last week is now official for AEW Revolution as Swerve Strickland will take on Brody King.
King called out Strickland for a match at the pay-per-view last Wednesday with the former AEW World Champion blowing it off. On this week’s Dynamite, King called out Strickland again, but Prince Nana came out instead, distracting King so Strickland could attack from behind.
Strickland choked out and hung King with his chain before telling King he would meet him at Revolution after which Bandido ran out for the late save.
It will be their first-ever singles match in AEW and their first one-on-one match since a June 2018 MLW event.
