<p><a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/swerve-strickland">Swerve Strickland</a> looks forward to showcasing what he has to offer at <a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/aew-double-or-nothing">AEW Double or Nothing</a>.</p>
<p>At AEW Dynasty, Swerve Strickland beat Samoa Joe to win the AEW World Championship. In doing so, he captured the world title for the first time and became AEW’s first African-American World Champion. At AEW Double or Nothing, he will defend the title against Christian Cage.</p>
<p>Speaking with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCxdIR72Tac" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>TMZ Sports</em></a>, AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland was asked to share his thoughts ahead of his first title defense on pay-per-view.</p>
<p>“More excitement, more anxious. I’m ready to get to it,” Swerve Strickland said. “I don’t really get the nervousness anymore. I’m excited to get my first pay-per-view title defense, I’m ready to get to it, I’m ready to showcase to the world what I have to offer as the new All Elite Wrestling World Champion. </p>
<p>“I’m one of the very few to literally start from the straight bottom to climb all the way up to becoming a world heavyweight champion and to be a main-eventer. I feel like I have one of the most unique stories in not just All Elite Wrestling, but just [the] wrestling industry period. We’ve been filming a documentary about it behind the scenes. There’s a lot more nuance to the story that’s gonna be told on the other side of the thing. That’s gonna be coming out sometime.” </p>
