Strickland isn't the only AEW star to release a sneaker. The Young Bucks also released a Reebok shoe last year on May 16.

Since his arrival in AEW, Strickland has made himself into a top face of the company. He became world champion at the AEW Dynasty PPV last year and attempted to do the same thing this year, but was unsuccessful.

Why? Thanks to his shoe rivals, The Young Bucks. The Bucks returned to AEW during his match with Jon Moxley and prevented Strickland from winning. Moxley ended up retaining the championship, though he will defend it this week on a special Beach Break edition of AEW Dynamite on TBS.

Other announced matches for tonight's show are a fatal four-way women's world championship eliminator and Ricochet vs. Zach Gowen. The Takedown on SI spoke to Gowen in an exclusive interview that you can read and watch below.
