In a recent interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long discussed the potential for a future rivalry between Swerve Strickland and MJF contending for the AEW World Championship.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On an MJF vs. Swerve Strickland feud: “Of course they are gonna’ do that. (MJF vs. Swerve feud) Okay? Nothing against MJF, I love him. he’s a great guy. He is one of the few guys that… he knows how to wrestle, plus he is an entertainer. That’s good for him. He don’t need no manager, he don’t need no mouthpiece, he can do it all for himself, and that’s absolutely great.”
On needing to give Swerve Strickland more TV time: “And if I was gonna put it on anybody, MJF would certainly be the guy ’cause he could carry it. But… you crowned a guy your champion, you gotta’ give him TV time.”
Strickland is scheduled to face Will Ospreay at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2024 later this month, with the AEW World Title on the line.
