AEW star Swerve Strickland is one of the most talented wrestlers in the modern era. He is a former AEW World Champion and the reigning AEW World Trios Champion with the New Level (Kofi and Austin Creed). He recently made a massive non-All Elite Wrestling appearance.
Swerve Strickland is a talented rapper. He has released several songs and is also a member of a hip-hop group named Swerve City. His rapper name is Swerve the Realest. The New Flavor recently performed for On the Radar Radio.
Swerve performed his entrance theme ‘Hit Different’ on On the Radar Radio. He also performed a song called ‘Coo Coo’. As expected, the former WWE star brought his A game.
Strickland and the New Flavor became AEW World Trios Champions at All In: London. They will put their titles on the line against former champions, “Hangman” Adam Page and Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) in a two out of three falls match at WrestleDream.
Former AEW TNT Champion Kevin Knight says that Swerve Strickland was one of his biggest inspirations
The Don Callis Family’s Kevin Knight is a talented in-ring competitor and is destined to become AEW World Champion. In a recent appearance on Hot 100.9, the Jet said that Strickland and Lio Rush were his biggest inspirations when he entered the professional wrestling industry.
“Swerve Strickland and Lio Rush were like my two biggest inspirations right when I got in because I saw them on the indies and they were being taken serious as main eventers and they were just being themselves as black men. That was something I felt like we didn’t get much growing up. So, I was like, let me add to the fire. Now, I’m working with guys like that. I had my first main event this year with Swerve Strickland. I had a title defense against Lio Rush. So, just being able to work with those guys is a dream come true in itself,” he said. [H/T: Fightful]
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the New Flavor. Hopefully, he and the New Flavor will retain their titles at WrestleDream.
