AEW President Tony Khan recently joined the Rasslinā podcast, and commented on AEW World Champion āHangmanā Adam Page who he had high praise for:
āI believe the top prize in all of pro wrestling, against the greatest champion weāve had, Hangman Page. The guy who knocked off Kenny Omega, heās come in and heās had, in my opinion, the best championship reign of anybody.ā
āThatās arguably right there [CM Punk vs. MJF], that is also a long-term story, and certainly with the fans there, that has been the best. But I think going back even further and longer, before that we had seen Kenny Omega and Hangman Page from the very first episodes of AEW Dynamite. Thatās where they first teamed in Philadelphia, the third-ever episode of the show. And through the pandemic, it was such a huge part of our fabric. They were the tag team champions through the pandemic and then split up. The first eliminator tournament was Kenny vs. Hangman for the first time since theyād been champions, where they met in the final at Full Gear 2020, a great show in front of a socially distanced crowd. So, itās a long story.ā
