    Backstage News On Hangman Page After Revolution Loss

    Hangman Page will be taking some time off.

    The Cowboy challenged MJF for the AEW World Championship at the Revolution PPV this past Sunday. Despite a brutal Texas Death Match, the 34-year-old failed to win the bout. The challenger was loaded onto a stretcher after the extreme title fight, and the show had ended with MJF standing tall over him.

    Fightful Select has now provided an update on his status, noting that Hangman Page is expected to take some time off from the company after his big feud.

    The site could not confirm if his hiatus will begin immediately or how long he will be taking off. Though the former AEW World Champion did not appear on this week’s Dynamite and after being stretchered out of Revolution, it seems unlikely that he will return to weekly TV just to be written off again.

    Hangman had gotten MJF to agree to the Texas Death stipulation on the condition that he would never challenge for the AEW Title again if he lost. Page has been a central figure of the AEW title scene since the company’s inception so we’ll have to see how the promotion addresses this change when he comes back.

  • Hangman Page Proposes Big Stipulation for Revolution Match Against MJF

    Hangman Page has proposed an interesting stipulation for his upcoming World title match with MJF at Revolution.

    This week\’s episode of Dynamite featured the challenger and the champion in a promo battle where they tried to decide which one of the two hated the other more. The talk then moved towards a potential stipulation for their upcoming encounter, with Page leaning towards a Texas Death match.

    Though MJF quickly dismissed the idea, saying that they will have nothing but a real, normal professional wrestling match. This is when Hangman threw a curveball and said that, in return for the Death match stipulation he will agree to never challenge for the World Title again if he loses.

    The AEW World Champion found the idea intriguing but said that he will take some time to think things through before agreeing to anything.

    A stipulation such as this has been executed one time before in AEW when Cody Rhodes lost the AEW title match to Chris Jericho at 2019 Full Gear. MJF was involved in that decision as well, and he threw in the towel on behalf of the American Nightmare to end the bout. 

    AEW Revolution this year will be taking place on March 15 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.

    Do you think it\’s a wise decision for Hangman Page to choose this stipulation for his upcoming match? Let us know in the comments.

  • New #1 Contender Crowned At Grand Slam: Australia

    A new #1 contender.

    After weeks of competition among Kenny Omega, Adam Page, Andrade, and Swerve Strickland, tonight\’s AEW Grand Slam Australia event finally featured a big #1 contender\’s match. The bout saw Andrade fighting Page for a shot at the AEW World Championship. Don Callis was at the ringside for this.

    Following a tough fight between the two competitors, Callis tried to help his client by getting up on the ramp and arguing with the referee. Andrade looked to deliver a low blow to Page to gain the upper hand using the distraction, but Hangman proved to be too smart for him.

    The former AEW World Champion ended up countering the move with a kick of his own. Hangman Page then delivered a big Buckshot Lariat to the former WWE star for the win:

    It\’s unknown when Page will get his world title shot against MJF. It\’s possible that the two competitors will meet at the Revolution PPV on March 15.

    Tonight\’s show also featured a hair vs. hair match involving Australian native Toni Storm among others. You can check out the results of the bout here.

  • MJF Becomes 2-Time AEW Champion At World\’s End

    MJF is a world champion again.

    The AEW World\’s End PPV this Saturday featured Samoa Joe defending his championship against the Salt of the Earth, Hangman Adam Page, and Swerve Strickland.

    At first, MJF was making little impact in the bout as he kept getting taken out by other contenders whenever he tried to gain some momentum. The Opps intervened on behalf of Joe when the young star finally started getting some chances.

    Though Samoa Joe failed to take advantage of the chance provided by his teammates, as Hangman Page somehow managed to kick out of the Muscle Buster. The referee then ejected the outside parties, and the match continued.

    The ending saw Swerve Strickland delivering a big powerbomb to the champion. He failed to do any further damage as MJF shoved Strickland from the top rope, only to eat a kick from Adam Page in return.

    Page took charge with a couple of big Lariats on the defending champion, but Joe only looked staggered instead of going down. As Hangman went for the third Buckshot, MJF low-blowed him outta nowhere. The 29-year-old then delivered a Heatseeker to Samoa Joe to win the AEW World title for the second time in his career.

    This ends Samoa Joe\’s second AEW World title reign at just 34 days. Now we\’ll have to see how long MJF, who held the belt for a record 406 days last time, is able to keep the title around his waist.
