After a long buildup filled with anticipation, Hangman Adam Page faced Jon Moxley in a brutal Texas Deathmatch for the AEW World Championship at All In 2025. The intense battle, highlighted by bloodshed, broken tables, and a bed of nails surrounded by shattered glass, ended with Hangman emerging victorious and walking out of Globe Life Field as the new AEW World Champion.
The match kicked off with Hangman using his familiar heel entrance theme, sparking immediate confrontation. Moxley gained an early edge with a distraction from Marina Shafir and some ruthless use of a fork, inflicting the first blood. As the fight escalated, barbed wire and chairs became deadly weapons. Moxley managed brutal moves like a pile driver onto broken glass and multiple chair attacks, but Hangman showed resilience, turning the tide by powerbombing Moxley onto the chairs and crashing him onto the glass.
With Wheeler Yuta supporting Hangman, he disarmed Moxley’s barbed wire attack and executed key moves like the Angel’s Wings and Buckshot Lariat, although Shafir intervened to protect Moxley. Claudio Castagnoli joined the fray against Yuta, and Ospreay tried to assist before being overpowered. Despite heavy punishment on both sides, both competitors kept fighting, exchanging vicious strikes and signature moves in a display of sheer willpower. Moxley looked set to win after hitting his death rider using a steel chair, but surprise distractions from Derby Allin descending from the rafters distracted Moxley just enough for Hangman to recover and deliver decisive back-to-back Buckshot Lariats, culminating in a stunning table smash that left Moxley down.
In the climax, Moxley and Shafir retrieved the bed of nails from under the ring, and Moxley attempted a Paradigm Shift, but Hangman reclaimed control. When Moxley reached for his championship belt, he was handcuffed by Prince Nana, who appeared with Swerve Strickland, effectively taking Moxley out of the fight’s final moments. Hangman wrapped a chain around Moxley’s neck, draped him over the ropes, and forced him to tap out. As the crowd erupted, Hangman Page finally captured the AEW World Championship after nearly nine months, overwhelmed with emotion as the arena lit up with celebration.
Fan Take: Hangman Page’s hard-fought victory marks a significant turning point for AEW, symbolizing the rise of a new era and injecting fresh energy into the championship scene. This thrilling and brutal match showcases AEW’s commitment to intense storytelling and athleticism, promising exciting future rivalries and elevating the sport’s dramatic appeal for fans everywhere.
