Swerve Strickland Fires Back At Booker T With ‘Bad Habits’ Trademark Tease

TLDR

Booker T made another comment about Swerve Strickland during his Hall of Fame podcast on February 17, 2026, referencing "bad habits" while discussing Je'Von Evans and generational influence in wrestling. Strickland responded by quote-tweeting the story with "(Trademarks 'BAD HABITS')", suggesting he may be looking to legally claim the phrase that Booker used as a jab against him. This continues the ongoing tension between the two that dates back to AEW Dynasty 2025, when Strickland told a Philadelphia crowd "F** Booker T."
