Strickland signed with AEW in 2022. He was a WWE star from 2019 to 2021. However, his time in the Stamford-based company was arguably underwhelming. Tony Khan managed to book him properly and made him a megastar. The Realest's absence is felt on Dynamite every week since he is currently sidelined.

The New Flavor is quite active on X/Twitter. Interestingly, he shared a picture of himself in a sauna a few hours ago. The post had a cryptic caption.

"Chamber," read the caption.

Swerve Strickland receives praise from a wrestling veteran

During a 2024 episode of Keepin' It 100, wrestling veteran Konnan and Disco Inferno discussed the meteoric rise of the former Isaiah "Swerve" Scott in All Elite Wrestling. Inferno called the 35-year-old an excellent performer and brilliant on the microphone.

"He sticks out. He's not sticking out because of the color of his skin. He's sticking out because he's an excellent performer. You know, he checks all the boxes, and plus, it got him over huge when he went out there and just torched guys on the mic out of nowhere (...) Bro, you know what got him over is the fact that Adam Page let him roast him on the mic, and just like took it, and just walked off, and that again made him a more important character (...) You don't want to go head-to-head with Swerve on the mic. He can roast you, you know,'" Inferno said.

Only time will tell what the future holds for The New Flavor in AEW. Hopefully, he will become world champion again someday.
