* AlliterativeName: '''S'''hane "'''S'''werve" '''S'''trickland.

* FinishingMove: As Killshot, both the [[DeathFromAbove Killstomp]] (which Strickland continued to use post-Lucha Underground and has renamed the Swerve Stomp) and a Storm Cradle Driver sometimes called simply The Killshot.

* HeelFaceTurn: Made one on ''Revolution 2024'' where he rejected Prince Nana's idea to cheat in the Triple Threat match and wrestled fairly. He cemented this turn in the March 6th 2024 airing of ''Dynamite'' he shows regret for his villainous actions of the past, and states that, after it felt like people were truly rooting for him for the first time, he won't let them down.

* VileVillainLaughableLackey: In contrast to his goofy, ButtMonkey manager, Prince Nana, Swerve is a brutal sadist who takes pleasure in brutalizing his enemies, in-ring and out.

While serving the United States military, Swerve decided to train to become a professional wrestler. He would begin training in 2008, pursuing his wrestling career while remaining active in military service. He would continue to appear in promotions such as the Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance, Combat Zone Wrestling, EVOLVE, Wrestling/LuchaUnderground, and {{Wrestling/MLW}}.

In WWE he was known for forming the stable Hit Row, alongside Top Dolla, Ashante Adonis, and B-Fab, as well as being a one time NXT North American Champion. Due to his signing to AEW, Swerve would not appear with the group during reunions on the independent scene, and the group would later reform in WWE without him. In AEW he was part of the tag team Swerve in Our Glory with Wrestling/KeithLee, and the two are one time AEW Tag Team Champions. After betraying Keith Lee, Swerve would briefly form a new stable, the Mogul Affiliates, with Parker Boudreaux and Trench (with association by rapper Music/RickRoss), and then merge with Prince Nana, Brian Cage, and the Gates of Agony to create the Mogul Embassy.

** Subverted in AEW, where he is presented as a clearly selfish man posing as a good natured person from the very start. From using Keith Lee to get what he wanted to his poor treatment of the Acclaimed, it was only a matter of time before he would begin to start properly acting as a heel.
