Swerve Strickland has nothing but high praise for Samoa Joe prior to AEW Revolution 2024.
As many of you know by now, Strickland will be facing off against Joe and Hangman Page for the AEW World Championship at Sunday’s pay-per-view event.
Speaking with The Athletic, Strickland commented on Joe’s current run as AEW World Champion and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his respect for Samoa Joe: “He’s a true pioneer in this business, and he holds so much intimidation. There’s so much of an aura about him that he has always had, and he has found a way to fine-tune it in so many ways.”
On Joe’s career resurgence in AEW: “Joe has once again revitalized his career, found another way to reshape it. Just being in the ring doing promos alone is surreal. People are buying into it from a promo standpoint; now people are anticipating us getting to the physical aspect. It means the world to me, and reaching Joe in a pay-per-view sense shows my growth. Getting to him means I’ve grown.”
