WWE Hall of Famer Criticizes AEW for Downplaying Swerve Strickland in 8/14 Dynamite Promotions

Swerve Strickland has ascended from a talent underutilized in WWE to becoming the AEW World Champion in grand fashion. Within a short span of time, Strickland has become a prominent figure for their television programming.

However, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray believed that Swerve should have been on the forefront of major AEW promotions. He took to his X to call out the Jacksonville-based promotion after seeing the recent promotion poster for the upcoming AEW Dynamite episode.

Bully Ray stated that Swerve should be positioned more prominently on the poster, despite being the reigning AEW World Champion. Moreover, Bully suggested that Strickland’s champion text should be in a larger and bold font to make him stand out from the pack.

“Hi #AEW Pls position your WHC more prominently. Its looks like he’s just another wrestler in just another match on this poster. Also, WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION should be in a larger, bold font. PERCEPTION!! As always, just trying to help. xo Uncle Bully #BOAfterDark.”

He is scheduled to battle Bryan Danielson with his AEW World Championship on the line in a high-stakes showdown, that is expected to be a stellar showdown and possibly etched, as one of the biggest matches of his wrestling career.
