John Moxley recently expressed doubts about “Hangman” Adam Page’s ability to endure a Texas Deathmatch. However, Page demonstrated his toughness by executing a backshot lariat on Marina Shafir, a female member of Moxley’s stable, during an episode of AEW Dynamite.
Though this moment might seem unusual to outside observers, AEW tag team champion Nic Nemeth supports Moxley’s portrayal as the story builds toward their Texas Deathmatch for the AEW World Championship at All In. Nemeth commented on “Busted Open Radio” that there’s something compelling about Moxley evolving into a gritty, blue-collar hero who’s willing to go beyond moral boundaries to reclaim the title, even if it means becoming a ruthless figure.
For nine months, Moxley has held the AEW World Championship, overcoming numerous challengers with the help of the Death Riders. Page is determined to “free” the championship and will be supported by his own allies in this intense journey.
Fan Take: This developing rivalry between Moxley and Page adds a layer of raw intensity and emotional depth to AEW’s storyline, highlighting the lengths wrestlers will go to for glory. For AEW fans, it signals a thrilling buildup to a highly physical match that could significantly impact the future direction of the promotion and its championship legacy.
