Some reading this just popped an eyebrow like The Rock.

Here's the thing: Samoa Joe was always going to be a transitional champion post-MJF. He's great, but isn't the long-term solution to the AEW World Title question and few will have a problem with that. Is it too soon for him to lose the belt? Perhaps, but Swerve is the future.

Strickland is ready - the guy has been smashing it for a while now, and is on the best run of his career. He's turning in cracking match after cracking match, so that needs to be rewarded posthaste. There are few who deserve a belt in the industry right now more than Swerve, put it that way.

Revolution could end up being a historic night for him and his fans. Then, Tony Khan can try to replicate one of wrestling's best ever moments by firming up who's babyface and who's heel in his feud vs. Hangman Page.
