SHANE STRICKLAND BATTLES NICK WAYNE AT DEFY 50 ON FEB. 26

SEATTLE - Making his in-ring return to the organization he helped put on the map, SHANE “SWERVE” STRICKLAND competes in his first post-WWE match against NICK WAYNE at DEFY 50 presented by Topo Chico inside Seattle’s historic Washington Hall on Saturday, Feb. 26.

Swerve made a surprise return at a sold-out DEFY Year 5 on Feb. 12 to challenge Wayne moments after All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star DARBY ALLIN shocked Wayne by presenting the 16-year-old standout with an AEW contract. Can Wayne score a win against the two-time former DEFY World Champion Swerve?

DEFY 50 on Sat. Feb. 26 is tracking to sell out. A limited number of standing room tickets remain and are available now at defywrestling.com.

Follow DEFY across social media @DEFYnw for more match announcements.

Matches from DEFY Year 5 will be available on DEFYONDEMAND the week of Feb. 21.
