Shane ‘Swerve’ Strickland Signs With All Elite Wrestling

Shane ‘Swerve’ Strickland is All Elite.

AEW Revolution saw the debut of Shane ‘Swerve’ Strickland, who joined Tony Schiavone on the stage to officially sign his contract with the promotion. Swerve then cut a short promo about how he could talk about the matches he wanted to have and the titles he would win, but wanted to keep it short and asked the crowd “whose house?”

Fightful Select first reported on February 23 that Shane “Swerve” Strickland will soon be “All Elite,” noting that his deal was expected to begin in the first week of March. It was also noted in the report that some of the discussion surrounding Swerve’s signing is that he could be a crossover star, with AEW hoping to feature more talent on other WarnerMedia programming.

During an appearance on Casual Conversations with The Classic, Strickland discussed having the freedom to go anywhere he wants now, compared to how WWE was a bit more restrictive related to some of the projects he has his name attached to today.

“It’s fun, yeah,” said Strickland. “I really am. I got, like I said, [WWE] moves too slow, I’m ready to bounce around. I’m ready to be big. I got a lot of projects that I wasn’t allowed to really do and really put that time and effort in being with WWE because they want that 100% decoration to their product. And once you build that equity, then you’re free to venture off into places that they allow. So that’s another thing.”
