Swerve Strickland Shares Worrying X-Ray Image Ahead of AEW Full Gear

Former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland sparked concern on social media Monday when he posted an x-ray image, along with the caption, “These Hurt Syndicate beatings take a toll.”

While the x-ray doesn’t appear to show any clear fractures or dislocations, the timing of the post is noteworthy. Strickland is scheduled for a high-stakes, hard-hitting match against Bobby Lashley at AEW Full Gear this Saturday. Lashley, set to make his AEW debut, will face Strickland in what is expected to be a physical clash, especially given the intensity of the Hurt Syndicate’s impact on Strickland.

As one of wrestling’s toughest competitors, Strickland is expected to go ahead with the match unless an official announcement states otherwise. Fans will likely learn more about his condition during this Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, where further updates could be revealed.
