Swerve Strickland is proud of Komander. 

Swerve Strickland might not be considered a veteran at the age of 33, but he’s wrestled all over the country, for multiple promotions, and shared the ring with legends like Rey Mysterio. 

Appearing on the Mark Moses Show, Swerve was asked if any young talent as approached him to say it’s an honor to work with him. 

“Komander. He said that to me when we faced off at ComplexCon, it’s a hip hop and fashion convention where we were running a wrestling show outside. Komander was super excited and super happy and inspired to work with me. Now, Komander has joined the AEW roster and I see him every week now. I have tremendous respect for him. He’s so young, so athletically gifted and talented, and I wish him such  great and long career. He is phenomenal. He just faced Roderick Strong this week, didn’t the win, but the fact that he’s getting so much opportunities on television weekly, I’m just happy and proud of him and I want to see him keep rolling,” he said.

While Komander lost on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, Swerve picked up a victory, defeating RUSH in an AEW Continental Classic bout. 

Swerve is set to compete in the league finals of the AEW Continental Classic against Jon Moxley and Jay White.
