Folks, revenge is a dish best served stylish. And at AEW Revolution, Swerve Strickland didn’t just win a match—he won back his dignity, his No. 1 contender spot, and most importantly… his robe.
That’s right—this wasn’t just about a title shot. This was about fashion justice.
Ricochet’s Robe Heist: A Crime of Disrespect
Strickland entered Revolution angry, focused, and slightly underdressed, thanks to Ricochet stealing his Prince Nana-gifted robe after cheap-shotting his way to victory in February. That was bad enough, but then Nana dropped a “win or we’re done” ultimatum on Swerve.
Translation: No robe, no manager, no future.
So, Swerve had to win. And more importantly, he had to win in style.
Chaos Ensues: Nana Turns Heel? (Not Really.)
This match had everything:
✅ Ricochet trying to send Swerve through the announce table, only to eat a counter straight to his spine.
✅ A Swerve Stomp that should have ended it, but Ricochet refused to stay down.
✅ A brainbuster, a 630 splash, and still NO three-count for Ricochet.
And then, just when things couldn’t get more chaotic, Prince Nana got involved… and gave Swerve the middle finger! The betrayal! The drama! The Shakespearean levels of pettiness!
But let’s be real—Ricochet was too focused on being a petty king himself. He grabbed the stolen robe, put it on mid-match (peak disrespect), and got rolled up immediately.
The Finish: Two House Calls & A JML Driver Later…
Ricochet kicked out, but his fashion crime sealed his fate.
💥 House Call #1.
💥 House Call #2.
💥 JML Driver.
1️⃣-2️⃣-3️⃣.
Swerve gets the win, the robe, and the No. 1 contendership. Ricochet, meanwhile, gets to rethink his life choices.
Final Thoughts: The Era of Swerve?
With his biggest career opportunity ahead, Swerve Strickland isn’t just looking for gold—he’s looking to take over. And after overcoming disrespect, betrayal, and an actual clothing-related feud, one thing’s for sure: he’s more dangerous than ever.
