Swerve Strickland has a new group.
On the December 21 episode of AEW Dynamite, Swerve Strickland debuted the Mogul Affiliates in an attack on Keith Lee. Swerve and Lee were set to meet face-to-face, with Rick Ross, as the mediator, but Swerve never made it to the ring, saying Lee needed to have eyes in the back of his head.
Lee was then attacked by Parker Boudreaux, who was previously aligned with the Trust Busters. Though Lee was able to dispatch of Boudreaux, another man attacked Lee near ringside, and Lee could not overcome the odds. The identity of the fourth man is not currently known.
The segment ended with Swerve hitting a double stomp off the top, crushing a cinder block onto the Lee, who was laying on the steps on the outside.
Throughout the segment, Rick Ross, who called Keith Lee "a big motherfucker" before the attacks started, was providing adlibs and encouragement to the Mogul Affiliates.
