AEW made a significant impact with its main event as “Hangman” Adam Page defeated John Moxley to claim his second AEW World Championship, ending Moxley’s reign. The event, lasting nearly seven hours, was packed with standout moments including Toni Storm holding Mercedes Moné’s AEW Women’s World Title, the AEW Unified Title, Casino Gauntlet winners MJF and Athena, and 56-year-old Dustin Rhodes capturing the TNT Championship following an emotional Adam Cole injury.
Though the true sentiment will become clearer once “AEW Dynamite” airs and the promotion begins its three-week residency in Chicago, backstage morale appears strong. Dave Meltzer shared on “Wrestling Observer Radio” that those within AEW are generally very pleased with the show and spirits are high, dismissing previous doubts and describing this event as a huge success that marked a morale peak for the company.
Fan Take: This news is crucial for AEW supporters because it confirms that the company not only delivered a historic show but also boosted the locker room’s confidence significantly. Such positive energy behind the scenes often translates into better performances and storytelling, which can elevate the entire sport of professional wrestling.
