There are feuds in wrestling, because that’s the spice of life. There are blood feuds as well, basically a level up and as seen between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre in WWE recently. And then there are the ones that take things to stratospheric levels of hate, as is currently occuring in AEW as Swerve Strickland and Hangman Page go completely off the rails.
On Wednesday morning, Strickland celebrated finally purchasing back the home he grew up in as a child — a lifelong goal of his afforded to him by his dominance as AEW World Champion.

Hours later, as Strickland watched helplessly from inside of the ring during this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Page was in an arsonist’s mood and burned the house to the ground.
No, seriously. He torched the place.
Move over CM Punk and Drew McIntyre.

Where this rivalry goes from here is anyone’s guess, and even if it was not truly Strickland’s childhood home as per the kayfabe, it doesn’t change the fact that Tony Khan and AEW allowed an entire house to be literally put to ashes to further what is arguably, now, the most toxic feud in all of professional wrestling.
And that, in and of itself, is beautifully insane.
