“[I want to] kind of see what’s out there for me. I have had, the last couple of years I’ve been in NWA trying to develop myself and kind of evolve my character in every way I possibly could. Now I’d like to bring that to, whether it be AEW, IMPACT Wrestling, or of course WWE.”

Masters has had two runs in WWE in the past, most recently from 2009 through 2011. He joined the NWA in 2021 and last wrestled there at NWA Samhain in October 2023.

On a recent edition of the “State of Florida” podcast, AEW wrestler Swerve Strickland reflected on his stellar run in 2023.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On seeking to top himself each year: “The last couple of years have been absolutely an upward trajectory. That’s kind of what I challenge myself [on] based off of somebody or just having a match that just tops everything that I’ve done the year before.”

On his top match of 2023: “Doing it at Wembley Stadium in front of 80,000 people with legends, true legends of the business, was something I never envisioned myself to do. But I kind of don’t go out and try to make goals because those things just naturally happen because I just put myself in the right positions to be able to do that kind of thing and just stay working hard and stay consistent.”

On his 2024 goal: “It sounds so far-fetched, but maybe I could possibly be the youngest African American World Champion in the history of the business on this biggest stage. That’s a lot to ask for and that’s a lot to work for, and that’s how important that is.”
