"I don't even want to think about it" - AEW star is deeply traumatised over incident with Swerve Strickland

A popular AEW star has revealed that he was left deeply traumatised over an incident with Swerve Strickland. He has also given a legitimate reason and said that he does not want to think about it.

Nick Wayne is now an established star in AEW. However, there was a time not too long ago when he was starting as a rookie. In 2023, he had an incident where Swerve Strickland and AR Fox attacked him in his wrestling school and left him bloodied.

Wayne was speaking on AEW Unrestricted when he said that he did not like that incident one bit and that he did not even want to think about it.

“A lot of people were very like, like disturbed by how much like blood I bled, and I remember when my mom first saw me, she like gasped so crazy and screamed at like, you would just guess you saw like a murder. It was so crazy. But yeah, unreal. I don't, I don't even want to think about it. I don't like reliving the moment.” [H/T Fightful]

In the same episode, Nick Wayne pointed out how the situation got out of hand and revealed how a broken piece of glass was responsible.

“It was down to just them two and me... took a picture of, me and my father that is hung up in the school, bashed the picture frame over my head. A piece of the glass slit the top of my head so deep. I was drenched in blood. The mat was drenched in blood. There was glass everywhere. It was insane. The scar I have on my head, the laceration on my head was unreal. I've never lost so much blood in my life. It was terrible. It was terrible.” [H/T Fightful]

He will be thankful that nothing bad happened to him after that. Nick Wayne is currently the Ring of Honor World Television Champion.
