"He taught me about timing in the ring, he really did. He taught me a lot of ways to really feel the moment. He truly takes his time. Bask in his Glory is a real thing. He's taking a lot of time and letting people feel him. If there's one thing I take from Ketih Lee, it's about taking that time to bask int he audience and the audience bask in my glory," Strickland told State of Florida Sports podcast.

Swerve and Lee were finally set to collide at AEW Worlds End, but Lee was not medically cleared to compete in the bout.

Dustin Rhodes, who took Lee's place, was defeated by Swerve.

Swerve will be in action on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite as he faces Daniel Garcia.
