• “You’re my favorite heel on the show” – Stephanie McMahon To AEW Wrestler
During an interview on Chris Jericho’s Talk Is Jericho podcast, AEW wrestler Swerve Strickland (fka Isaiah “Swerve” Scott in WWE NXT) recalled wrestling at the NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver 2021 event.
Swerve revealed that he received major praise from Stephanie McMahon after his match.
Below is what he said:
“Next match, me and Jonah (Bronson Reed) went two segments, 12 minutes, beat the crap out of each other and Shawn (Michaels) was like, ‘That’s what I like, that’s what I want to see. Now you’re in there.’
Then we did the TakeOver: Stand and Deliver with the Gauntlet match, I started first, went 25 minutes, lasted till the end with me and Jonah, put Jonah over.
Stephanie McMahon comes to the back and says, ‘You’re my favorite heel on the show.’ Like, literally she said I’m her favorite. ‘Well, Trips (Triple H), you hear that?’”
