AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland reacts to emotional reunion on WWE show

Modified Jul 10, 2024 01:49 GMT

An emotional reunion took place on a WWE show tonight. AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland has now reacted to it.

The Rascalz were a popular tag team in TNA and NJPW for several years due to their in-ring skills and personality. However, the group had to disband for a while after Nash Carter and Wes Lee got signed to WWE, where they debuted as MSK.

Wes Lee and Nash Carter immediately made an impact by winning the NXT Tag Team Championship. However, the latter was released from his WWE contract for controversial reasons. This left Lee alone, but he became a successful singles star by winning the NXT North American Championship.

Sadly, an injury derailed his career for a bit. After returning, Lee continued his pursuit of the North American Title. He even faced Oba Femi at Heatwave with the title on the line. Tonight on NXT, Lee emotionally addressed his future and teased quitting the company when Nash Carter and Trey Miguel came out to reunite with their former stablemate.

Following this reunion, AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland posted an image of the reunion on Twitter/X with praying hands and 100 emojis to show his approval.

It remains to be seen if this means The Rascalz will make regular appearances on NXT.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
