Swerve Strickland returned to AEW last month and shockingly joined forces with his former nemesis, Hangman Page. It appears that The Realest has now christened his duo with the former World Champion with a new name on social media.

Last month at Full Gear, Adam Page was dethroned as the AEW Men's World Champion by Samoa Joe after being betrayed by Hook during the main event Steel Cage Match. After the match, Swerve Strickland made his highly-anticipated return to programming, and instead of targeting The Cowboy, attacked members of The Opps dojo, causing The King of Television to retreat alongside Katsuyori Shibata, Powerhouse Hobbs, and The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil.

Since then, both Page and Strickland have stood united against The Opps. Earlier this Wednesday, The Hangman launched a solo ambush on Hook, Shibata, and Hobbs, then issued a challenge to The Wrestler and The Embodiment of Willpower for Dynamite: Winter is Coming. On the latest episode of AEW Collision, Strickland revealed that he had Samoa Joe and the World Championship in his sights but also offered to team up with Page against Shibata and Hobbs next Wednesday.

Since then, it has been revealed that Swerve and Hangman will face off against two-thirds of the World Trios Champions at Winter is Coming in a Tornado Tag bout. The Moghul has now taken to X/Twitter to share the official graphic for the match, captioning the post with what appears to be his potential tag team name with Page.

It remains to be seen if The "Franchise" and the "Main Character" of AEW will be able to put away The Opps this coming week.

The Samoan Submission Machine stood face-to-face with The Mad King earlier this Wednesday and fired several taunts at him, especially in light of the end of his brief alliance with Hook. The former Continental Champion responded by criticizing Joe over his recent conduct, and demanding that The Destroyer channel his old self next Wednesday so as not to get beaten.
