Hot take: AJ Francis (Top Dolla) was the star in Hit Row.
I don't see what everyone else sees in Swerve.
Not that I think he's bad or anything - he's fun in the ring - but so are a million other people already.
Still, the "Swerve's House" catchphrase is obviously popular with the AEW crowd, so there's definitely something there.
Tony Nese, however, joins Matt Sydal and a few others as "Why did Tony hire them exactly?" head-scratchers.
At least with Joey Janela, he has an indie cult following and connections.
