Swerve Strickland speaks highly of Bryan Danielson.
Bryan Danielson won the Owen Hart Foundation Men's Tournament to earn a shot at the AEW World Championship. He will challenge Swerve Strickland for the gold at AEW All In.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland shared his thoughts on Danielson.
“Bryan’s not just experienced, he’s the greatest of all time. That’s who I’m going up against–a first-ballot Hall of Famer. I’ve never faced anyone like him. But he’s never faced anyone like me," Strickland said.
Strickland highlighted how there was a lot of Pacific Northwest pride heading into AEW All In, as he and Danielson are both from Washington. He then circled back to previewing the match, noting that Danielson has faced him before, but he has changed since their last encounter.
“Bryan told me I’m a special breed of talent. I’m also a special breed of danger. I know we wrestled before, but he’s never faced me like this. Bryan is facing me after my Texas Deathmatch against Hangman Page. He’s facing me after I beat Will Ospreay–and Christian Cage and Samoa Joe. I’m a different beast. I can’t wait for him to see it," Strickland said.
