Former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland reacted after a major rematch was announced for next week. A top star challenged The Realest on Fyter Fest.
Last week on AEW Dynamite, Swerve Strickland confronted his archrival, "Hangman" Adam Page, and accused him of costing him the World Title at Dynasty 2025. Will Ospreay also showed up and played the peacemaker between Page and Strickland, trying to convince them to join forces to take down Jon Moxley and the Death Riders.
The Realest rejected the idea of teaming up with Adam Page after what happened between them during their blood feud over the past two years. Ospreay tried to convince Strickland once again on Collision last Saturday, but the two ended up brawling backstage.

"The sequel," he wrote.
Swerve Strickland picked up a huge win at AEW Double or Nothing
At AEW Double or Nothing 2025, Swerve Strickland teamed up with Kenny Omega, Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, Katsuyori Shibata, and Willow Nightingale to take on the team of the Death Riders and The Young Bucks in an Anarchy in the Arena match.
The match was filled with brutal spots and saw participants fighting all over the arena for nearly an hour. The epic multi-person encounter ended with Strickland pinning Nicholas Jackson and picking up the win for his squad.
Strickland's match against Will Ospreay next week on Summer Blockbuster will be the first time the former AEW World Champion will be in action since Anarchy in the Arena. It remains to be seen what transpires between the two fan favorites.
