Cody Rhodes has worked had to establish himself as one of the top stars on the WWE roster and he has often referred to himself as QB1. While that mentality seems to work for Cody Rhodes, QB1 is not something former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland is striving to be.
Swerve recently appeared on Radio Big Mack, and he explained that he doesn’t like the QB1 term at all. He also explained why he thinks AEW has more of a Fab Five as opposed to a QB1
“I don’t like that term. I don’t know, because it gets thrown around a lot about who is and who’s not. And that’s, once again, very subjective. First of all, AEW doesn’t really have the QB1 mentality. WWE, for sure, does have that, right? It’s a pyramid. Like, whoever’s at the top is at the top. So you can make the claim for QB1 with them over there.”
“With AEW, it’s not really like that. We’re more of a Fab Five. We have a Fab Five. That’s why we use pillars or, like, the Dynasty, Hangman, and Ospreay. It’s always a multitude of guys, not just on the shoulders of one person. And a multitude of girls, you know? It’s more multilayered at the top because it rounds off and it switches between that, and we’re always kind of intertwining our stories.”
Swerve Strickland will be in action tonight at the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view as he and The New Level are set to challenge Adam Page & Brodido for the AEW World Trios Championship in a Texas Deathmatch.
