Swerve Strickland Calls Out WWE’s Treatment Of Black Talent

Top AEW star Swerve Strickland appeared on VladTV to discuss several topics, including WWE’s reported view on his market value.

Strickland said, “I don’t think their value is fair. I don’t think they market anybody’s value as fair, really.”

On Booker T saying he was treated fairly in WWE:

“That’s not what happened when Vince said the N-word in front of you. That’s not being treated fair, my opinion. To that statement, it’s not what even what I’m saying. I’m saying what people are saying. I’m saying what your audience is saying. So it’s not just me just talking out of my ass out of nowhere. It’s what your audience has been complaining about for the better part of two, three years from not seeing Black talent even getting singles matches on PLEs and stuff like that. Now, those guys are on socials more, they talk back and forth with the fans a little bit more. So you can’t ignore that anymore.”

On Triple H’s comments at a WWE press conference about not seeing color:

“Since that quote, you’re hearing quotes from Triple H saying he doesn’t see color in press conference so after someone actually calling them out at their press conference, saying, ‘Oh, why is there no African-American talent? You put the Black celebrities in the audience.’ Those Black celebrities, who I know and I’m friends with, they want to see the same people that represent them perform at these shows, and they’re not seeing that. I’m not saying anything brutal or mean or disrespectful to the company. I’m just regurgitating what your fanbase is telling you, that you’re not hearing and giving what they’re giving. So it’s not just me like, ‘Oh, woe is me, I’m bitter.’ I moved on, and I got my money, and I created my own values.”
