Swerve Strickland has been on fire this year, holding the AEW World Championship and giving fans countless thrilling moments. But with his high-stakes match against Bobby Lashley just around the corner at Full Gear, there’s a sudden cloud of concern. The AEW star hinted at a possible injury after sharing a concerning X-ray image on social media.
Strickland’s feud with Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate has been intense, kicking off when Swerve refused MVP’s invitation to join forces with him, Shelton Benjamin, and Lashley at AEW WrestleDream. The Hurt Syndicate has since targeted Swerve relentlessly, with repeated attacks that ultimately set the stage for their showdown at Full Gear on November 22.
In his recent post, Strickland shared an X-ray showing what appears to be a dislocated collarbone, accompanied by the caption, “These Hurt Syndicate beatings take a toll.” While the image suggests a significant injury, AEW hasn’t provided any official details on Strickland’s status.
As the Full Gear match approaches, fans are hopeful that Swerve will still be able to face Lashley in the ring. However, his health comes first, and any injury could take priority over his current feud. Until then, everyone’s waiting for an official update from AEW on whether the highly anticipated match will go ahead as planned.
