Swerve Strickland has been on a roll since his release from the WWE. He has his own podcast, events named after him and he’s a prominent member of the AEW roster already. However, he was at one point part of the NXT faction Hit Row.
Speaking on Talk Is Jericho, Strickland went into detail on how Triple H refused to let him do scripted promos:
“We did Great American Bash and we [Strickland and Leon Ruff] had a blow-off match. That’s when Hit Row was introduced. I was cutting promos in the studio backstage and Triple H was like ‘Nope – take away the script. Don’t let him use the script anymore.’ So I was like ‘cool.’”
