Hangman Adam Page is just one win away from completing his redemption story by becoming a serious contender for John Moxley’s AEW World Championship at the upcoming July 12th event in Texas. While many expect Page to dethrone Moxley, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray recently shared on “Busted Open After Dark” that he believes AEW might need to rethink putting Moxley on the shelf just yet, suggesting that the focus should remain on the champion rather than immediately crowning Page the new top wrestler.
Ray mentioned that early on, he was uncertain if Hangman Page should be the one to take down Moxley but now feels that Page is ready to carry that mantle. Although Ray hasn’t bet on anyone for the next big win, he praised Page for his dedication, especially after his victory in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament, which proves Page’s full commitment to his upcoming clash with Moxley in Texas.
The rivalry between Moxley and Page has been fierce throughout 2023, highlighted by Page’s win over Moxley in a Texas Death Match at Revolution. With such high stakes and valuable titles on the line, their upcoming bout promises to be a defining moment.
