AEW World Champ Swerve Strickland went to bat for the company during a recent interview on 'Unlikely With Adrian Hernandez'. According to Swerve, Tony Khan's promotion is "where the best wrestle", but "is also the best at entertaining" on top of that too.

Whether intentional or not, that'll be taken as a dig at WWE by fans on social media.

Strickland pointed to this past Wednesday's 'go home' episode of Dynamite before Double Or Nothing as proof. He loved chasing Christian Cage through the arena, and thought segments involving fake blood falling on Malakai Black (courtesy of Adam Copeland) and Darby Allin wielding a flamethrower worked well.

"You got a whole helping of a lot", he said.

Swerve doubled down on his thoughts by hyping up AEW's roster as the best in the world and saying they constantly deliver the best wrestling matches on TV. Then, he again repeated that All Elite "delivers" superior entertainment when compared to any other company on the map.

That'll get some folks talking, because there's been a ton of negativity surrounding AEW's week-by-week product in 2024.
