Behind the scenes insights about the AEW Double or Nothing main event and Hangman Adam Page’s victory have come to light. The Owen Hart Foundation tournament finals occurred last Sunday during the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view. In the opening women’s match, Mercedes triumphed over Jamie Hayter to claim the tournament title.
The men’s tournament finale featured Hangman Adam Page facing off against Will Ospreay, with Ospreay ultimately winning and earning a future AEW World Championship title shot scheduled for July 12th. Prior to the event, Fightful Select revealed that the match outcome was kept secret, and new details about the match’s conclusion have emerged. The match was reportedly arranged under an extended deadline shared only with the wrestlers, suggesting they were aware of the plans earlier in the weekend.
Fightful noted that Hangman was initially expected to win the match, but plans shifted to have Ospreay win instead. Sources said Tony Khan remained undecided about the winner throughout the planning process. Regarding AEW World Champion John Moxley, Fightful heard there was some support for Hangman to win, but it was unclear if that influenced the actual result.
Behind the scenes, the match received strong praise, and overall reactions to the event were highly positive, reflecting a boost in company morale. Despite various opinions, the final decision on Hangman Page’s victory was ultimately Tony Khan’s call.
Fan Take: This revelation highlights the careful planning and creative flexibility behind AEW’s big matches, which is exciting for fans who value unpredictability and storytelling depth. Hangman Adam Page’s win not only solidifies his top status but also sets the stage for compelling championship rivalries, keeping the AEW scene dynamic and engaging.
