I’ve been hit hard time and time again from some of the best this industry’s ever had and I get back up. I know what my goal is and I’m gonna keep fighting for it. I’m a real one and Joe knows that.”

Strickand’s confidence was evident as he looked forward to the upcoming contract signing, where he will officially cement his place in history by becoming the first African American AEW World Champion.

Don’t feel bad Joe, take pride in the fact that you will lose your championship to a history maker, to a living legend, to an upcoming icon, take pride.’‘
