Swerve Strickland posted a video to his social media on Wednesday saying AEW management is keeping him off tonight's AEW Dynamite in Asheville, North Carolina.

The former AEW World Champion has been off live AEW television since losing to Kenny Omega on the March 25 edition of AEW Dynamite. Earlier this week, Strickland posted: "Time to start asking questions why swerve aint on tv."

In his new video, Strickland called out AEW management directly: "I'm here at home because of AEW management. They want to keep me away from TV. I've been shooting the last couple promos that you see off-site. I haven't been at AEW TV. AEW management is responsible for that."

He thanked Tony Khan for ambassador work for WBD and his April 25 appearance at the 2026 NFL Draft, where he announced the Jacksonville Jaguars' fourth-round pick with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

"I appreciate that, but you're keeping me away from doing my f----ing job, and that is getting in the ring and hurting people. The longer I'm away from the ring, the longer I'm away from championship gold. And you are willing to keep me away from doing what I do best, and that's hurting people."

Strickland added: "That's why they're banning me from AEW Dynamite, because they're afraid of what I'm going to do to Bandido. They're afraid of what I'm going to do to the rest of the people on the staff and the locker room of All Elite. Going all the way back to what I did to Kenny Omega earlier this year. I'm a danger to AEW Dynamite, and now AEW Dynamite is going to be keeping me away until further notice. They're going to play games with my career. But like I said, I want power, and I want it all."

AEW Dynamite airs tonight at 8 p.m. ET on TBS and HBO Max.
