Following his victory over Brody King at AEW Revolution on March 15, Swerve Strickland is the top contender to the AEW Men’s World Championship. However, Strickland’s quest to prove that he was the most dangerous man in the company was prevented by a returning Kenny Omega, which has led to Strickland wanting something to go along with a potential second run with the world title, power.

During the March 18 episode of “AEW Dynamite,” Omega issued a challenge to Strickland for a rematch from their bout in February that ended with Strickland putting Omega in the hospital. Omega challenged Strickland to put his top contenders spot on the line as he hoped it would put an end to their already personal feud, but Strickland decided to up the ante. Strickland came to the ring and proclaimed that he wants Omega’s power, and by power, he meant that he wants to Omega’s spot as an Executive Vice-President in All Elite Wrestling. 

Strickland has already taken the EVP titles away from The Young Bucks following his and Will Ospreay’s victory over Matt and Nick Jackson at AEW All In Texas 2025, but now he wants the role for himself. As for when that match will take place, AEW President Tony Khan made the match official for the March 25 episode of “Dynamite” in St. Paul, Minnesota. The winner of the match will not only be able to state their claim of being an EVP in AEW, but they will be next in line to challenge MJF for the AEW Men’s World Championship. With the Dynasty pay-per-view coming up on April 12, both men will want the victory as the event will take place in Omega’s home country of Canada, while Strickland has headlined both previous Dynasty shows, winning the AEW Men’s World Championship at the inaugural show in 2024.

The late, great Eddie Guerrero helped propel the careers of several stars during his time in WWE, and one Hall of Famer who has credited him entirely for his career is JBL.

Guerrero had several phenomenal rivalries in his legendary WWE career, none as memorable as his with JBL. In a recent appearance on The Undertaker and Michelle McCool’s “Six Feet Under” podcast, JBL was asked whom he would want to face if he could have one more match in his career. He named Guerrero without skipping a beat, saying he was responsible for his entire career. 

“Give me one more match with Viva La Raza. Just one more match with Eddie. And give Ron in my corner. Straight up, oh my god, no DQ, absolutely not because I want Eddie to be as creative as possible. No DQ, no rules, no nothing. Ron can get involved. Ron can do commentary or whatever Ron wants to do,” he said. “Eddie Guerrero not only made me, Eddie Guerrero gave me the angle that not only made me, but took the title off himself. So my whole career I owe to Eddie. I’m putting that man over for you.”

JBL, who has time and again lavished praise on Guerrero, said that he would want the late star to win the hypothetical match between them. The veteran star had previously recalled how his JBL character hadn’t taken off at first and wasn’t a hit with fans, but all that changed when he was paired with Guerrero. Guerrero not only helped JBL in the ring but was also supportive in his personal life, helping him navigate a divorce.
