There were a lot of talking points coming out of AEW’s All Out event, and one of them was the tag match between The Acclaimed and Swerve In Our Glory. The title bout between the two teams was a raucous and fun back-and-forth encounter, and the crowd was up for every minute of it. Tony Khan enjoyed the match so much, he thinks it might be worth running back for the upcoming Grand Slam event.
Speaking during the All Out media scrum, Khan suggested that the match might be something to consider for the September 21st edition of Dynamite at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Khan had this to say: “I personally think, with Grand Slam coming up, I can’t imagine a better match for New York than, hypothetically, a rematch between Keith & Swerve vs. The Acclaimed. I’m just saying, I think it would be a great match and if people are asking me, I think it would be the best thing we could do at Grand Slam… I need to take some time to think about it, but it would be a great match for Grand Slam and be great for the fans of New York. Tonight was a great milestone, one of the best matches we’ve had.”
Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee seemed less keen on the idea. Lee stated, “It’s interesting that in our losses, we had to go down the ladder, but you want to do this rematch. I’m not going to speak to that. I will admit, I enjoyed the battle, they brought it, they stepped up. However, if they want to bring it properly, I would advise putting away the stereotypes, the silly raps, the jokes.”
Strickland added, “You pay the bills, do what you have to do. Don’t be surprised if somebody gets hurt.”
Swerve In Our Glory defeated The Acclaimed to retain the AEW Tag Team championships.
