Swerve Strickland turned heads recently after recalling a gruesome spot he was involved in at AEW, where a major star drank his blood.Saying Swerve Strickland is one of the most popular stars in the Jacksonville-based promotion is an understatement. The New Flavor's ability to connect with fans is unmatched, whether he's playing a heel or a face. That said, the Tony Khan-led promotion has been without his presence ever since Forbidden Door 2025, where he failed to win the Unified Championship from Kazuchika Okada. Since then, the former World Champion has been on a hiatus due to injury problems and is not expected to return anytime soon. Amid his absence, the Mogul has remained active on social media and recently drew attention for recalling a brutal spot involving arch-rival and reigning All Elite Wrestling World Champion Hangman Page. In that spot, the Anxious Perrenial Cowboy drinks Strickland's blood. The match in question was the highly revered Texas Death match at Full Gear in 2023, with Strickland resharing a clip from that bout on X, where Page holds Swerve's busted-open head above his head as drops of blood pour into his wide-open mouth.
