Swerve Strickland said AEW went a little too far with Jon Moxley drowning Darby Allin in a fish tank. It happened during their I Quit match in the main event of WrestleDream 2025.
In a recent interview with Sportskeeda, Strickland answered several rapid-fire questions. When asked about a time AEW went too far, he said:
“Darby getting drowned. I was like, ‘Oh, we’re here. Okay.’”
Strickland also named Allin as the craziest wrestler he has shared a locker room with:
“Darby. Darby. Darby. He runs the board completely. Because I’ve been to Darby’s house, you know. And it’s literally the same thing.”
Strickland and The New Level (Kofi and Austin Creed) will wrestle Hangman Adam Page, Brody King, and Bandido for the AEW World Trios Championship at Full Gear on Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona. The match will be a Texas Death Match, with the stipulation suggested by Strickland himself.
Strickland defeated Page in a Texas Death Match at Full Gear 2023, in one of the most violent matches in AEW history.
