Tommy Dreamer says Swerve Strickland getting treated like a babyface by AEW fans these days is “weird.”
In recent weeks, Strickland has been acting more like a heel leading into his match with Bryan Danielson at All In: London.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Dreamer commented on Strickland acting like a heel while the fans continue to cheer him.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the babyface reaction to Swerve: “It’s so weird, right? Because everything Swerve did [on Dynamite] was so heelish, even jumping and kicking Bryan Danielson in the back of the head. And then the fans are still chanting ‘Who’s house?’”
On how Swerve inspires the reaction: “Swerve doesn’t mince words. Swerve’s promos are very direct. Swerve gets under your head where you normally should boo him. He’s such an incredible athlete. I feel that’s why they cheer him and they like to do, or at least watch, the dance, and they like to yell, ‘Who’s house?’”
