Swerve Strickland Believes Now Is the Best Time For AEW and WWE Crossover

WWE and AEW may be direct rivals, but that doesn’t close the door on the possibility of a crossover between the two promotions. AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland certainly believes it is possible.

Since AEW’s inception in 2019, both organizations have engaged in direct competition both on-screen and behind the scenes. While AEW Dynamite initially prevailed in the Wednesday Night Wars, WWE NXT emerged victorious in the October 2023 ‘Tuesday Night War’ against AEW’s flagship program.

Reigning AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland, who has experience working for both promotions, shared his perspective on the potential for a crossover during an interview with The Bootleg Kev podcast.

“If there’s ever a time it could happen, now is more likely than it’s ever been. I don’t think either person [Tony Khan and Triple H] is opposed… I don’t think there’s ever been a time that’s more likely than now.”
