Swerve Strickland sent a pointed message to Hangman Adam Page following Page’s victory at the AEW World Championship event held in Texas. The pay-per-view on July 12 featured a brutal Texas Death Match, where Hangman Adam Page faced off against AEW World Champion John Moxley. Despite interference from multiple wrestlers supporting both sides, Page ultimately defeated Moxley to win his second AEW World Championship title. At the match’s climax, Swerve Strickland pulled out the Young Bucks, handing them a chain symbolizing Page, while sharing photos from ringside on Twitter with the caption, “Look around the cowboys.”
Earlier in the event, Strickland and Will Ospreay secured a win over the Young Bucks, a victory that was crucial since a loss would have barred them from competing in the AEW World Championships for a full year. Page ended Moxley’s 273-day title run; Moxley had won the championship from Bryan Danielson at the Lesdream event in October 2024. For ongoing AEW updates, fans can stay connected as the action continues across Texas.
Fan Take: This moment marks a significant shift in AEW’s championship landscape, highlighting Swerve Strickland’s deepening rivalry with Hangman Adam Page. It’s an exciting development that could lead to compelling storylines and intense matches, further energizing AEW’s fanbase and raising the stakes for the sport.
