US EditionSwerve Strickland Returns After Samoa Joe Wins AEW World Championship At Full Gear
Swerve Strickland returned after surgery to assist Hangman Page against Samoa Joe and The Opps, ending AEW Full Gear with a cleared ring and renewed alliances.
- On November 23, 2025, Swerve Strickland returned at Full Gear to aid Hangman Page as The Opps Dojo circled him and a house-on-fire graphic appeared before his entrance.
- HOOK ran in with the referee down then smashed Hangman Page with the world title belt, revealing his alignment with The Opps and enabling their assault on Page.
- Having undergone surgery for a torn meniscus, Strickland had been out since the summer and was reported expected to return within the next month after winning AEW Dynasty 2024.
- Clearing the ring, Strickland fought The Opps and stood with a furious Adam Page as Full Gear closed, positioning them against AEW World Champion Samoa Joe.
- These developments deepen factional confusion while limiting AEW's available roster for follow-up matches, as The Young Bucks helped the Don Callis Family win the $1 million match and Will Ospreay's injury removes key players.
