“We knew we were meant to make history with one another by collaborating hip hop and pro wrestling on a different level. The Lucas brothers captured it in the best light possible.”

The Lucas brothers, lifelong enthusiasts of hip-hop and wrestling, were drawn to Strickland and Garments’ innovative work in AEW. They emphasized the importance of portraying their partnership positively.

“As lifelong fans of hip-hop and wrestling, we were instantly captivated by Swerve and Flash’s groundbreaking work in AEW. In an era where the media often portrays black men in conflict, their partnership is a beautiful example of the incredible things that can happen when African American men work together. We believe their story needs to be told.

The documentary will showcase how their unity and shared vision have defied stereotypes and proven that with collaboration, anything is possible. It’s a powerful counter-narrative that deserves the spotlight.”

We will have to wait and see when Swerve Strickland’s documentary will release, as it has become quite evident that the documentary will truly paint the AEW World Champion in a whole new light.
