More On Swerve's New AEW Contract
Added 2024-08-26 22:06:10 +0000 UTCSwerve Strickland is sticking with All Elite Wrestling for years to come.
Swerve signed with AEW in March of 2022, with a three-year deal that would take him into March of 2025. However, Swerve had out performed it by the time his title reign rolled around, and negotiations began while he was champion. Swerve then signed his deal on the air with Tony Khan present. As noted, there was still time on his deal, but AEW prioritized getting the contract done to lock him down for years to come.
We’re told the contract is a multi-year contract that will keep him with the company until at least 2028, though we aren’t sure of the exact length of the deal. It was confirmed to Fightful that this is considered one of the biggest deals in the company’s history.
AEW sources had long maintained that they'd been over the moon with Swerve's performances in and out of the ring. He's expected to remain a performer at the top of the card during his deal.

Would be pretty cool, and have Swerve keeping beating Hangman so when Hangman does end up beating Swerve, it will be a huge moment. This story could go another year and keep everyone glued if they play their cards right.

2024-08-27 01:06:16 +0000 UTCI bet he got like 15 million over 5. Not the highest AAV, but one of the highest “total money” deals. I’m always curious about the contract side of wrestling. Wish more was posted about it

2024-08-26 22:13:27 +0000 UTCDude has turned himself in to a legit main event megastar. He, Ospreay, Hangman, and MJF need to be the backbones of the men's division for the next 5+ years.
