Swerve Strickland breaks silence after crushing betrayal on AEW Dynamite

The current AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland finally opened up about the shocking betrayal that he suffered from his own faction, The Mogul Embassy, on the most recent episode of Dynamite.

On Dynamite this past Wednesday, AEW Champion Swerve Strickland called out Christian Cage, his opponent at the upcoming Double or Nothing Pay-Per-View. Christian, along with The Patriarchy, brutally attacked the champion last week after being announced as his next challenger by the EVPs Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.

During a segment this week on Dynamite, Christian Cage and The Patriarchy were heading toward the ring to attack Strickland again, but the AEW World Champion had some backup this time, as The Mogul Embassy showed up. However, in a shocking turn of events, the faction betrayed and attacked Swerve instead.

The Mogul Embassy also put Swerve through the announce table before leaving. Meanwhile, after suffering a heartbreaking betrayal, Swerve took to the 'X' social media platform to seemingly break the silence.

"Fake friends."
