Swerve Strickland's first AEW World Championship reign ended after 126 days when he lost to Bryan Danielson at All In 2024. The top star is looking to bounce back with a major victory and has just confirmed an interesting rumor headed into tonight's All Out go-home edition of Dynamite.

The New Flavor and The American Dragon headlined the second annual All In Pay-Per-View from London, in front of a packed Wembley Stadium. Danielson's career was on the line in the 26-minute main event. However, Strickland is now set to do battle with a heated rival at All Out this weekend as he and Adam Page will step inside a Steel Cage for their fifth AEW singles bout.

The Hangman vs. Swerve Steel Cage Match was rumored to be the All Out main event on Saturday. However, Swerve took to X (formerly Twitter) today to react to the rumor. The 13-year industry veteran seemingly confirmed that he will be in the All Out main event.

"ALL IN/ ALL OUT: Main Eventer," Swerve Strickland wrote in response to the rumor.

Strickland defeated Page three times in 2023: WrestleDream in October, Title Tuesday Dynamite nine days later, and a Texas Death Match at Full Gear in November. Their fourth singles bout ended in a thirty-minute time-limit draw this past February on Dynamite.
