“The one day I knew I was getting bullshitted around the PC was when I was there for like three or four months and I got called to do 205 Live against Drew Gulak, who had the Cruiserweight Championship,” Swerve said. At the time, 205 Live was being taped after episodes of WWE SmackDown. So, we had to go last on that night in Miami after you’ve seen all the stars. And it was me and Drew Gulak. We went 18 minutes in the ring straight for the Cruiserweight Championship. Everybody’s on their feet going crazy. I have ‘Swerve’s House’ signs, like, going after Roman.”

“They’re not chanting, ‘This is awesome!’ They’re chanting, ‘Let’s go Swerve!’ They’re actually rooting for me to win this title and I’m losing to Drew Gulak. Got great praise in the back coming afterward.”

“Everybody’s giving me crazy praise. I come back to the PC and they’re trying to teach you arm drags again. I’m like, get the f–k out of here with that. They’re trying to tell me how to entertain 400 people in NXT when I just entertained 6000 in the stadium. I’m like, why are you trying to backtrack me?”

HHH and Vince did not know the star they had. Tony Khan knew it, I am always curious how things would have worked out if Swerve joined at the start, I deffo see him getting the world title even sooner if he joined from the start and being one of the main pillars of early AEW

WWE's loss was undoubtedly AEW's massive gain. Swerve is by far one the best and will bring out the best in Mox. One match all fans will take a look at as both guys are at the top of their game. Has the potential to be match of the year, this one will be epic!

Watching this now. Swerve comes across as such a humble and grounded guy. Hunter by swerves account wasn't that big on him, which is a shame.
