Swerve Strickland reacts to Christian Cage attack, claims he won't be alone next week

Christian Cage attacked Swerve Strickland on Dynamite this week. The AEW World Champion has now reacted to the assault.

On Wednesday, Swerve Strickland addressed the crowd in Winnipeg. Meanwhile, The Young Bucks appeared on the big screen and called him out for criticizing their attack on Tony Khan. To teach him a lesson, the AEW EVPs brought back Christian Cage as his opponent for Double or Nothing 2024. Cage was flanked by The Patriarchy and he wasted no time in assaulting Strickland.

In a recent video shared by AEW on Twitter/X, Strickland addressed Cage and hinted at having a backup on next week's Dynamite.

"Christian, you chose to tag with me at Wembley Stadium because you know what kind of a man I am. [It] seems like you've forgotten something too. I'm about to remind you and the rest of the family who the h*ll I am. Next week on Dynamite, we're gonna have a little talk. This time I'm not gonna be alone."
