The rivalry between Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland has been one of the most intense and captivating storylines in AEW’s recent history. What began as a clash of egos and ambitions escalated to new heights at AEW All In: London, where Hangman Page dramatically cost Swerve his AEW World Title. This act of betrayal has set the stage for what promises to be a thrilling encounter at AEW All Out, as the two competitors resolve to settle their score in a steel cage match.
According to a report by Fightful, this fiercely anticipated steel cage match was originally planned during their initial run, with discussions aiming for it to occur later in 2023. The idea was to follow their intense Texas Death Match with this climactic encounter. However, the decision was made to save the steel cage match for a more opportune time, ensuring it would deliver maximum impact and drama.
Adding a personal dimension to the rivalry, Swerve Strickland effectively revealed during the feud that Hangman Page’s wife was pregnant with their second child. This announcement aligned with Fightful’s earlier report that Hangman was scheduled for time off due to personal, non-injury-related reasons. It turns out that Hangman Page strategically arranged for extended paternity leave in his contract, allowing him to focus on family while ensuring AEW was aware of his planned absence.
As AEW All Out approaches, the anticipation for the steel cage match between Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland is palpable. Fans are eager to witness how this personal and professional rivalry will unfold within the confines of the cage. Will Hangman’s cunning tactics prevail once again, or will Swerve find redemption and vengeance? This match not only promises to be a physical spectacle but also a storytelling masterpiece, as both wrestlers bring their personal animosities and professional pride into the ring for what could be the most defining match of their careers.
