Throughout their feud, Page and Strickland did things to each other that have gone down as some of the most violent, sadistic, and personal moments in AEW history. Strickland invading Page’s home which forced the current AEW World Champion to uproot his entire family and move house, Page drinking Strickland’s blood live on pay-per-view, and Page burning down Strickland’s childhood home less than two weeks after Strickland had bought it. Page admitted that getting personal was difficult for both men, but all of those previously mentioned moments were all reasons why fans loved their feud so much.

“Outside of the personal things that happened between us, that just in itself was exciting to see unfold for fans, and the personal things that unfolded between us, they were difficult. It was difficult for me as a person to keep coming to work every week and deal with. And on the flip side, soon after, I know it was difficult for him. It was something extremely personal that in some ways we didn’t have a choice but to let it play out in front of the world. But in some ways we did allow it to. We welcomed people into our lives in a very intimate way. I think people appreciate that.”

After everything they did to each other, Page and Strickland finally got to a point where they could fight a common enemy, and Strickland ended up helping Page win the AEW World Championship from Jon Moxley at All In Texas. In response, Page did something on the following week’s “AEW Dynamite” that he never thought he would do; he said thank you to Strickland.
