Swerve Strickland wasted no time criticizing MJF’s finishing move during a recent “60 Second Interview” with Don Chenz (see video below).
When asked to identify the worst finishing move currently used in AEW, Strickland pointed straight at MJF and his adapted version of the piledriver famously associated with Adam Cole.
“MJF. It sucks and it was stolen from Adam Cole,” Strickland stated. “He stole all of his shit.”
MJF most recently appeared on AEW television during the September 2 episode of Dynamite, where he promised to make a return and seek some payback.
In another segment of the interview, Strickland was asked what changes he would make to the AEW Trios Championship belt if given the chance to redesign it.
“Take the Young Bucks off of it,” Strickland said. “It is the Young Bucks throwing a superkick on the side plates. We’ve had so many Trios Champions since then.”
Strickland argued that the side plates should instead honor the team currently holding the titles.
“If you get the new champions, you put different — at least the trios team on it,” he continued. “The Young Bucks aren’t even a trios, it’s just two people on a Trios Championship.”
