Bryan Danielson praises Swerve Strickland.
Strickland is one of the top AEW stars right now and has continuously teased being the first black AEW World Champion. This is something that is deeply personal to Strickland, who has spoke in the past about the struggles of being a black professional wrestler.
On last week’s edition of AEW Dynamite, Bryan Danielson and Swerve Strickland battled for the first time in a match that delivered for many fans.
While speaking to Sports Nightly, Danielson praised Swerve Strickland.
“Tuesday was the first time I had ever been in the ring with Swerve and I’d watched him wrestling before and he’s just… he’s that next level of great. Seeing him is one thing, being in the ring with him is a completely different thing, but that dude is something special.”

Strickland defeated Hangman Adam Page at AEW WrestleDream, but came up short in his matchup with Bryan Danielson on Tuesday’s Dynamite.
We will have to wait and see if Strickland will in fact become the first black AEW World Champion.
