SUMMARY
- It seems an AEW star has been hogging all the limelight because of Sean Strickland.
- Several fans took to their X handles to share hilarious responses to the feud between Keith Lee and Sean Strickland.
Sean Strickland is a popular mixed martial artist who is currently competing in the middleweight division of the UFC. Previously, at UFC 293, Sean faced Israel Adesanya for the UFC Middleweight Championship. With that, the outcome of the fight saw Strickland win via unanimous decision. But it was hailed as a major upset because Adesanya had earlier been a major favorite to win the fight.
However, at UFC 293, Strickland emerged as the UFC Middleweight Champion. With that, Sean has gained a lot of popularity among the fans. However, it seems an AEW star has been hogging all the limelight because of him.
The AEW star is none other than Swerve Strickland. Previously, Sean Strickland called food critic and mixed martial artist Keith Lee “racist.” Following that, Lee shared a response to Sean’s comment. Meanwhile, Swerve Strickland got involved in the feud, apparently due to his last name matching that of Sean’s. Not only that but pro wrestler Keith Lee also got involved in the feud.
With that, several fans took to their ‘X’ handles to share hilarious responses to the feud between food critic Keith Lee and Sean. Not only that, they also dragged Swerve and pro wrestler Keith Lee. With that, one fan wrote, “For real.. First Keith Lee, now Swerve Strickland… I mean Sean Strickland… Like, GET THEM OUT OF TIMELINE!”

Meanwhile, other fans joined the suit and began to express their thoughts on the Lee-Strickland feud. Fans were of the opinion that AEW President Tony Khan should go ahead and book a tag team match between the Keiths and the Stricklands. In that regard, one fan wrote, “Tony Khan gotta book Keith Lee and Keith Lee vs Swerve Strickland and Sean Strickland in a tag team match on #AEWDynamite“.
Thus, it seems that while the matter was entirely between Keith Lee and Sean Strickland, Swerve Strickland and the other Keith Lee got dragged into the situation. Also, while fans talked about Sean, they constantly brought up Swerve. Thus, it seems the AEW Star got a lot of attention because of the UFC Champion.
