Swerve Strickland’s AEW Dynasty main event loss to Jon Moxley might’ve hurt, but it’s what happened after the cameras stopped rolling that sparked the biggest backlash.
As the Philadelphia crowd began to file out of the Liacouras Center, Swerve took the mic and delivered a direct and unexpected shot at WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, shouting: “F** Booker T.”*
After the event, Swerve posted a photo of himself from his entrance, with no caption. The replies were swift and ruthless, calling him out for deflecting blame.
>“Got Booker T all in your head losing the match and he’s the first one you think of.”
>“You lost to Jon Moxley, man. The aura is dead.”
>“The wrong Booker got called out last night lmao”
>“You’re worried about the wrong Booker.”
>“You speak on Black representation but you let another white man pin you 1 2 3 again,”
>“Tony really had you hype yourself up just to lose to a white man again and get screwed by two other white men.”
>“You let the crackas turn you against another Black man. I know what you are.”
>,“That’s not it, my guy. Booker T not your enemy.”
>“That was some corny ass s** you said to Booker T,”* and “You lost… and still called out Booker T, who’s built a platform for men like yourself.”
> “Bro, your real-life attitude and entitlement is a disappointment. BP and Shock would be ashamed. You don’t deserve to rep those kinds of outfits when you’re always acting like the antithesis of what they stand for.”
The criticism has only grown louder as Tony Khan himself caught heat for avoiding any mention of the main event on social media. Instead, his last tweet celebrated the AEW International Title match, which fans hijacked with complaints over the main event’s chaotic finish and lack of resolution.
