AEW's 'Hangman' Adam Page may still miss next week's AEW Revolution pay-per-view despite his 'injury' on this week's edition of Dynamite not being legitimate.
Page could be seen clutching his foot after escaping Samoa Joe's Muscle Buster finisher during the six-man tag-team match that headlined this week's show. At ringside, Page was seen telling the medical crew "it's bad" and was seen limping after the match.
Still Missing AEW Revolution
Despite fears of a broken ankle, it's since been reported that Page's situation on Dynamite was not a real injury. Instead, the former AEW World Champion was simply showing excellent selling skills.
In an update on the situation, Bryan Alvarez said the following on Wrestling Observer Live.
"The reason that he worked the ankle injury is because he has something going on in his personal life and he may not be able to work the pay-per-view. If he can’t work the pay-per-view then this is the cover story as to why he can’t work the pay-per-view."
At this time, there is no confirmation as to what this personal issue is that could keep Page from the show. Alvarez added that people very close to Hangman didn't know what was going on as of the morning after the 'injury.'
What's Next?
Hangman Page is scheduled to challenge AEW World Champion Samoa Joe at AEW Revolution 2024, in a match that will also include Swerve Strickland. The show will take place on March 3, and mark Sting's final wrestling match. The Icon and Darby Allin will defend their titles against Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.
