If you were to draw a comparison to the Drake and Kendrick Lamar hip-hop beef to an AEW rivalry, which would you pick?
Swerve Strickland has his pick.
The AEW World Champion spoke with Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports to promote his title showdown against Bryan Danielson at AEW All In: London at Wembley Stadium on August 25, and during the interview, he compared the big rap beef to a generational rivalry of top stars in All Elite Wrestling.
"If I had to compare it in a wrestling sense, man, I think that would be like Kenny [Omega] and Will Ospreay type feel," Strickland said. "If you had to put those guys up of that generation. It’s crazy for me, but I feel like the difference is just the difference of philosophies and what success is. That’s how I saw what Kendrick and Drake was."
Strickland continued, "I feel like that’s the same way of like a Kenny, and maybe not as much Will, but maybe more of like a Kenny and Bryan Danielson. There are two different types of philosophies of what pro wrestling truly is of this generation."
