8 Wrestlers AEW Should Fear Losing To WWE

8. 'Hangman' Adam Page

Whilst Adam Page is no longer AEW Champion, he is still the centrepiece of a few different stories in the company. He’s a huge deal for AEW storytelling, as a star who rose to prominence in the Western wrestling scene through the feuds that the company laid out for him that took him to the main event.

In May 2019, Page revealed in an interview with State of Combat’s Brian Campbell that WWE had not just made overtures to sign him before he departed NJPW for AEW, but that they had been “more after [him] than most”.

Hangman had nothing bad to say about the process, complimenting WWE on being courteous and professional. In the end, he turned them down in pursuit of something that he described as a “game changer”. Considering the window that these chats would’ve taken place in, it’s highly possible that he was speaking to the current WWE head of talent relations or his men.

Meaning that, in all likelihood, Triple H was the man pushing for Adam to come to WWE, and stands to reason that Hunter feels the same way now - perhaps even more so with seeing the former AEW Champion’s success on TV.

Page still has plenty going on in AEW, but if he's ever looking for a new challenge, WWE will be more than happy to oblige.
