On a recent edition of the “Battleground” podcast, R-Truth lavished praise on Swerve Strickland’s AEW World Title win at the Dynasty 2024 pay-per-view event.
R-Truth also pointed to Oba Femi’s NXT North American Title reign and Carmelo Hayes being drafted to the SmackDown roster. He said,
“I get emotional. It’s a prestigious honor. Let me say this, I want to congratulate Swerve. Definitely gotta’ congratulate him man on his achievement, his accomplishment. I meant to call you. I’m sorry I haven’t called you yet. I’m gonna text you. He’s been killing it for a while, but he’s so talented, man, so humble. [He’s] so well-deserving of what he’s doing now. You’re just seeing the beginning of him, Trick, [Oba], Carmelo, these guys are just like — it’s such a good time to be a part of this. It’s such a good time to see these guys give me my flowers. Strickland has always talked good about me, man. Again, it’s a surreal moment for me man to be in the position I’m in.”
