On the October 23, 2023 episode of AEW Dynamite, Swerve Strickland broke into Hangman Page's home.
Swerve went to Hangman's child's crib and spoke to the child about his father and his actions.
"That was an ugly baby, bro. That was something I never got to get across," Swerve said with a laugh while speaking to O’Shea Jackson Jr. and TJ Jefferson on No Contest Wrestling.
While the action was not one of a hero, Swerve ended up being cheered in the feud with Hangman.
"It was a slinky effect. That moment brought me up here, and my success brought Hangman back up here. Now, Hangman is back up here and tearing through again. That's what you want to do. Propel each other up by their actions. I don't ever do an action for that action alone. What's leading and here is the reaction, how do we react to that? What's something that is sentimental to me, the Swerve character? All that horrible, diabolical stuff I have done, there is still a human in there that has sentiment and values. Now, Hangman, it took a while, but Hangman found it. It was my home. Me buying back my home, with my success, it brought something else out of Hangman to take that away from me. The sentimental thing with Hangman was his family and home. We're very similar because the sentimental thing for me was my family and home. We're very similar, but opposite at the same time," said Swerve.
Hangman would eventually get his revenge, burning down Swerve Strickland's childhood home ahead of AEW All Out 2024.
Hangman defeated Swerve in a Lights Out Steel Cage match at AEW All Out.
