Booker T isnt letting his history with Swerve Strickland fade into the background and now hes taking another shot. Nearly a year after Strickland grabbed a mic at AEW Dynasty 2025 and told a Philadelphia crowd F** Booker T, the Hall of Famer is once again addressing Swerve by name. This time, the moment came during the February 17, 2026 episode of the Hall of Fame podcast and it didnt take long for things to turn heated. While discussing JeVon Evans and generational influence in wrestling, Booker brought Swerve into the conversation and delivered a subtle but clear jab. The comment immediately got a reaction from co-host Brad Gilmore, who didnt miss the dig, as he said, You know what? Swerve deserved that one. He deserved it. Booker, realizing the setup, leaned into the moment with a grin: You just set that up, didnt you? This comes after Booker went after Swerve Strickland for dropping the f-bomb on him last year. He addressed the moment directly on his podcast and questioned Swerves decision to make it personal at the end of AEW Dynasty. He also made it clear he prefers direct confrontation over public shots. And perhaps most telling, Booker drew a line in the sand when it came to future praise. So when Booker T laughed about bad habits today on his podcast, it clearly wasnt random. Theres history there and Booker hasnt exactly let it go. Do you think this is just long-term ribbing at this point, or is Booker T still keeping score? Sound off in the comments.
