“Hangman” Adam Page finally claimed his second AEW World title at All In by dethroning Jon Moxley, with the help of Bryan Danielson, the returning Darby Allin, and his former arch-rival Swerve Strickland. And in terms of the future, some of the question has already been answered by Tony Khan by way of social media announcement, with it being confirmed that “AEW Dynamite” on Wednesday will see both Page’s first promo segment since becoming champion, but also a trios match pitting him, Mark Briscoe, and Powerhouse Hobbs against Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta. That points to the idea that he and Moxley have yet to conclude their feud and that he may be the one to call next opportunity. But he’s going to have more than enough competition. 

Both Samoa Joe and Will Ospreay were taken out by the Death Riders throughout All In at the hands, boot, and a steel chair of Castagnoli. Ospreay and Strickland had also beaten the Young Bucks during the event to ensure they could challenge for the World title over the next year, so one would presume that they are going to be taking their ticket at the line for future opportunities. Time will only tell how long, if at all, Ospreay will be out of action with Forbidden Door in August touching down in the UK, and there is a well-established precedent for Strickland and Page to run things back; especially with the argument that Page now owes Strickland for his help. 

However, throwing a spanner in the works for all of the aforementioned is MJF, having secured a world title contract after winning the men’s Casino Gauntlet at All In. Little has been said as to what the contract entails, whether it will be a fixed match or a cash-in situation. When Christian Cage won the Gauntlet and the contract last year, it was treated akin to Money in the Bank, cashing in during the Revolution main event to turn it into a triple threat. However, when Toni Storm won the Gauntlet earlier this year, her shot was for her bout against Mariah May at Grand Slam Australia. In either situation, he is bound to cross paths and almost certainly have something to say about or to Page in the coming weeks.
