Swerve Strickland: A PlayStation 5 Will Save Marriages and Relationships If You Are a Wrestler on the Road

Swerve Strickland credits this gaming machine for saving him a lot of time.

During a Complex Sports X-Ray segment, former AEW Men’s World Champion, Swerve Strickland was asked what he brings on the road with him when he is not in the squared circle, and Strickland brought up his PlayStation 5, something he says has saved him plenty of time from being out in the dangerous streets and preventing him from causing any type of problems in his relationships in his life.

“So right here, I’m unveiling the most important travel item for not just myself, Swerve Strickland, but for any wrestler on the road. You get flight delays, expect to be boarding by 30 minutes, now it’s gonna be three hours. This right here is gonna save you, not just time, but mentally as well. PlayStation 5, everybody. Everybody’s laughing on set, I hear you. Hear me out, listen to me. This will save marriages and relationships, will keep you inside your hotel room and not outside causing trouble, because it’s very easy to get into a lot of trouble these days, especially as a professional wrestler. A lot of people want to try you on the road. So games I’m playing online right now, Madden franchise mode is where we get it in. I’ve been on the Tony Hawk remasters lately. Looking forward to the GTA 6 coming out. If your TV and your monitors aren’t working in a hotel room or there’s no TV to plug into at the airports, I got your back. A portable monitor as well. You can play it anywhere you need to. This is a good way to stay connected with your friends, your family, your fan base, no matter where you go on the road and you can have a good time either yelling at them or laughing is how I keep my sanity on the road.”

Strickland is currently out of action after undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus, his last match was a loss to the current AEW Unified Champion, Kazuchika Okada at Forbidden Door.
